They will generally exchange it for any reason at all, although the replacement you get may not be any better. With regard to that sort of replacement, I would suggest that just because you can doesn't mean you should. These can often be tightened up.

Just curious. What about this constitutes a "screwing"? If you have a particular attachment to your ratchet, you can request they rebuild that one for you, if you're willing to wait for it. I would tend to agree that it is nigh on impossible to break a ratchet (even a cheapie) without abusing...

Re: made in china craftsman anygood? True enough, but given the turnover time, it'll take another year to get them all out of the system.

It seems they've been in stock for several days straight now. At this point, anyone still participating in the "great wild hunt for prybars" is out of excuses for not getting some.

I have read that snap on actually covers the dies with their warranty, so to be fair, they are adding some value to the product by putting their name on it. I've had my set about a year, and I don't use it terribly frequently (maybe twice a month), so it's doubtful I'll ever wear out enough...

I like the snap on tools I've got, but this scenario is one thing I hate about them. Relabeled products for 300% markup. Their label on it doesn't add any value to it, but they'll mark it up none the less. That is a ripoff. Because of things like this, I have to take extra time to research...

I pulled the trigger on it, and ordered a set on amazon. This set just barely squeaked by. I shutdown all my tool purchases for the holiday season every year, and instead keep my "wishlist currently updated. The wishlist is a text file on my desktop containing the tools I've been intending to...

I gotta say, I don't understand why so many of you are on the elusive quest to snag this thing still months later, when they're available much more predictably at summitracing.com. That being said, for those of you enjoying the hunt, I'll help out. I stumbled across it while browsing sears.com...

Thank you for your insights. You make very good points. The only argument I would make to them is if the integrity of the bolted joints in your application is that critical, the fasteners should be replaced, rather than repaired, regardless of the type of tap/die used.

Not again, just still. It's a year old thread. I've got a few pieces of the chinese craftsman, and you're right, they're not that bad. Of the few chinese tools I've got, they're the best I've ever seen. No one gives them credit for that.

That's a great set. I've got one. I'd like it even more if it came with common raised panel wrenches rather than the non-reversible ratcheting wrench. I love a good ratcheting wrench, but a basic set needs not to skip over basic needs, and you need a common combination wrench before you need...

Craftsman is ideal for something like that. They're frequently running sales on their sets that come in a plastic 3 drawered toolbox (usually 250-260 piece sets). You can get them for under $200 when they're on sale. Sometimes they're still even USA made stuff, although dwindles a little more...

I know it's sacrilege to say this, but I'll do it anyway. I have one drawer in my toolbox dedicated to hammers. I have one special made hook on the side of my toolbox for my favorite hammer (4lb sledge), and the rest go in the drawer. If I were unable to fit them all in that drawer, I would...

Why do they call them cordless grease guns? All of my grease guns have always been cordless, including some that are older than I am. If you're specifically looking for something battery powered, the first place I would look is something that uses batteries I already have. The next thing I...

Yeah, that seems to fit. The scale in that picture seems off. Even knowing it'a 1/2" drive set, the sockets still look like 3/4" drive. The ratchet looks like 1/2" drive, and the sockets look larger than that. I've had decent luck with blow molded cases and, if they're quality to begin with...

What set is that in the bottom of the picture? I count 26 sockets, but I don't see a sunex kit in their catalog.with that number of sockets. I'm presently considering a 29 piece sunex 3/4" socket set, but nowhere online is there a picture of what the case looks like when it's opened up.

I've had my set for a year, and I like it, but I don't know that I'd go that far. You can chase threads with a common tap or die, but you cannot cut threads with a thread chasing tap/die. While this toolset has a definite purpose, that still makes it less versatile than a standard tap/die set...

They've been great. I've had them for a few years, and they're holding up well. The size markings have taken some wear, but I store them in the original blow molded case which has the size marked there as well. I do use them fairly regularly, and have beat on them pretty hard while using...

I have a sunex set of stubby impact hex sockets, and they have been remarkably handy, and durable. I also have a set of GP air hammer punches, and they have been likewise thoroughly satisfying. I do doubt I could go wrong with either choice.

Yeah. The HF sets you mentioned are what I'm currently working from. I'm looking to close up the gaps. I wasn't planning on getting these just yet as I was getting by, but I've stumbled across an opportunity to unload them and recoup most of what I've got in them.
