    Tool company make this for us diesel guys?

    If everyone thought like you nothing would be invented. Nothing against you but we have the greatest ability to make something new more than any time in history. We have the internet (in my opinion is the greatest invention of the world) to pass along information to build and share ideas. We...

    Craftsman RP ratcheting wrenches

    The reason you heard that is the sales people make commission and the cashiers don't. The sales people try and ring up the people they help to earn the commission. If they let the cashier ring it up they get nothing. Lazy cashier love the tool section because the tool guys do all the work.

    New Costco 'Kirkland' Toolbox

    Tool boxes are like women. Some like the tall, some like them short. Some like them with big tops, some like them small. Some like them wide, some like them skinny. But in the end, they are just a box you need. Just buy one you like. Ignore the comments if it fits your needs.

    HVAC guys listen up

    I went to a house to bid on an insurance claim for homeowners who had a fire from the HVAC system. Probably $125,000+ in damage. They had a company remove the electronic air filter and replaced it with paper ones that they recommended (hepa filters standard size easy to change). They forgot...

    My Craftsman rant to their customer service

    You are more correct than you know. All stores are ranked against each other. Being a top store might get a manager and assistant manager a bonus for the quarter. The Operations manager is in charge of merchandise pickup. Some of those managers do anything they can to keep their ranking high...

    Craftsman premium heavy duty stainless 40" price?

    I can agree with this. Depending on what you looked at in the past there were huge differences in quality. They used to rate the Basic (25 pounds per drawer), Heavy Duty (50 pounds per drawer), Extra Heavy Duty (70 pounds per drawer), and Professional ( I think some were rated as high as 250...

    Craftsman premium heavy duty stainless 40" price?

    I have both top and bottom of the stainless box and have been happy with them. I bought them because of the full length drawers on top for my spread of wrenches. The lowest top drawer will fit the Hansen socket holders that are vertical. That was another thing I wanted. It's your box. Buy...

    Best home use auto scan tool

    I agree this is the best way to go for value. The Pro version of Torque Pro is only $4.99. SO you spend $20-30 on a bluetooth dongle and 5 bucks on a program. Hard to beat that price.

    Help me ID a model # for this Craftsman tool box

    With the newer boxes the model number is in a top drawer on the right side. Usually a white sticker. I'm sure you probably have looked there.

    My Craftsman rant to their customer service

    When I was a manager at Sears if you came into my store you would have walked out with that socket and been refunded. No $2.49 socket is worth an unhappy customer.

    Best Light Duty 1/2 Ton Truck?

    I agree the Dakotas are under powered. I bought one in 2006 and thought it was ok until I towed a travel trailer. It was painful. Only 230HP in a 4.7. I stepped up to a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Hemi stock at 390HP (mines over 400hp) and I have 95,000 on it with no problems. Extended cab (not...

    Craftsman Pinless Swivel Impacts

    I did get that exact set but I did better price than the price you listed. Happened to come across it as a clearance item in a local store and couldn't pass it up. It was missing the extensions but I didn't need them. I haven't quite decided if I want to sell them but if I do I will let you...

    Craftsman Pinless Swivel Impacts

    Hello, I have a set of these in 3/8 and 1/2 in both metric and SAE. I've never used them and wondered if they are any good? Not sure who manufactured them. APEX? They are old stock USA made sockets. I got these when I bought a discounted impact set with all shallow and deep sockets and a...

    Spraying PAM will probably do the same thing. But cheaper.
