I bought the Craftsman set for less than half price. They were on the clearance rack because the outside cardboard was missing. Everything inside was in tact. With that said, I have not used any of them yet. Haven't needed to but have them for spline bolts when the time comes.

If you're buying a house woodworking tools will come in handy for repairs. I myself would like to upgrade a few things. I would like to swap my miter saw for one with a slider to get more capacity. I would like to replace my older 18v NiCad battery tools for the newer 20v Li-Ion versions and...

I think it would not go over too well if I tried to use toolboxes around the house. Not sure I would want to either but to each his own.

I would not know if my detents could wear out because first thing I did was remove every drawer and bend the ends of the slides straight. I did not like how the drawer would grab and make it harder to open. Nothing wrong with the function really, I just have no plans to move the box around my...

It looks like it has a model number decal on the inside to the left. I would have expected to see one on the rear as well.

When I clean tools like that I use a fine brush on my grinder then coat with Rem Oil. The gun oils you have shown should work as well. The rust seems to come back a little over time but a quick run on the wheel and another coat does the trick.

I avoid Gearwrench from China too. I look for Taiwan versions or I don't buy them.

My guess. They are so common everyone has a story to tell about the one's they have used. Many good, some bad. In general, I have used a RP Craftsman over the last 20 years and until I pulled it apart and clipped the internal spring it was fine. I have added other brands to my collection in the...

Trouble with SK around here is Grainger is the only place to buy them and everything they sell is full retail. Fine but if I am going to pay $70 for a ratchet I am going to spend it on Snap-on. Craftsman tools were never the best but they have been affordable and plenty good for all but...

When I have used those I put the plug on the T-Handle in the middle of the plug. Shove it in the hole with a little rubber cement around it and pull out the handle. I end up with two tails sticking out that are roughly the same length. I cut the excess off about the length of the tread depth. I...

I don't care what time of day you go, the Sears stores near me are empty of people which makes it easy to get help and shop. Routinely find 3-4 employees looking to help and they have been friendly. Agree the tools are made more cheaply but I have already bought most of my common hand tools...

I have most of that set that I bought 5-7 pieces at a time. Its not often I need the really long drivers but hey, if you get the set you will have everything covered that I would run into. I don't need the pliers or any of the looooong sizes so I buy in smaller groups but the drivers themselves...

Sounds normal and sounds like it might take a while to get used to. In this case it sounds like the stone is very hard. Lifting up to get more "action" from the tool is more like using a regular hammer to break up the rock rather than the chisel cutting through the rock. Normally you would not...

All I know is I would like to be strong enough to break the drive end on a 1/2" ratchet without a cheater. Wow. The only time I have had a ratchet give was after I modified the internal spring to make it ratchet easier. I cut a little too much off which allowed it to break lose and free spin...

I had a cheap one a while back that would stick like that. It was something to do with the adjustment of the pin that holds that piece from falling away from the tool. Never did figure out what would fix it, just tossed it and bought a better quality model.

I forgot about mine, just ran out and drilled a hole. Quick little tool when you have a lack of power. I used mine more as part of a telecom kit before cordless drill batteries were as good as they at now.

Some people are just as bad forward as they are in reverse.

I'm happy to see they make some with a clutch and I should buy one of those. Can't tell you how many times the drill has been pulled from my hands because it catches on something at full speed. Hurts a bit just thinking about it. We had one a while back that we called a rodeo drill. Each of us...

Don't worry too much on the 20v vs 18v, both are 18 volts. Dewalt and maybe some others named the Lithium Ion battery tools 20v so they are easily distinguished from the ni-cad tools. Li-ion will give you a better battery run than the older batteries since they run at full power then drop off...

I thought he was crazy but said they same thing you did. He likes to be able to cut super early in the morning with little to no noise. I know someone with an electric mower that plugs it into an extension cord and drags the cord all over the yard. Not for me personally, I like running on gas...
