I have some of the craftsman 1/4" impacts that I bought on clearance about 2-3 years ago. Sears dropped them along with the made in USA impacts and changed over to china made impacts. You will probably only find 1/4" impacts in old USA made combo sets.

This is great advice. The only time I see a steel handle being good is if you are doing work that totally abuses the hammer. Most concrete foundation guys use steel handles because the wooden handles get messed up and splinter. When I framed I used the "Woody". See if any of you know what...

Loscaldazar is correct. I bought a 3/4 drive ratchet at a garage sale one day that was broken for 5 bucks. Took it in and got a new one. Did I feel bad? NOPE. The people at the garage sale could have traded it for a new one then put a $30 sticker on it and I would have probably bought...

I used to be a Manager at Sears and understand the frustration with tool exchanges at Sears when employees do not understand the return policy for Craftsman tools. The policy states.... "If this Craftsman hand tool ever fails to provide complete satisfaction, return it to any Sears store or...

I checked out the Sears web page you looked at. All the new polished flare nut wrenches are made in China. So be prepared for that if you buy them. I used to be a Home Improvement ASM at Sears so trust me, they will most likely not be the professional branding as shown in the picture. If...
