Is ACE pricing is competitive? It seems to be aligned to the non-sale Sears prices. Although I guess if it is truly NOS, the price could be whatever they ask. Would it be fair to compare with other USA made moderately priced lines like Channel Lock?

I asked about these because I got an email telling me they had a price reduction ($~15) so I ordered them for store pickup. What they had for me were the chinese ones packaged in the folding plastic pouch. Perhaps my hopes were teased a bit. I think the tools in that new packaging are what...

What do you think about this? Different style packaging that says Made in US on the hang tag. This from the Sears website.

Got an email telling me an item I was looking at has dropped in price. 3-pc 1/2" extension set for $15.74. https://www.sears.com/craftsman-3-pc-extension-bar-set-1-2-in/p-00943283000P?plpSellerId=Sears&prdNo=3&blockNo=3&blockType=G3 What was interesting was the photo of the packaging. Note...

Here are some pics of the tools I saw at ACE. Looks like old packaging. I saw something on the website with what looks like new packaging with a MADE IN USA on the outside.

That is kind of why I posted this. Wondering if these are new made in USA tools. It is a newly opened Ace store, so if it's NOS, they came from somewhere else. I took a couple of pics. (trying figure out how to upload them...) Also, I will compare to my craftsman tools purchased in the...

I believe they are made with Hanzo steel.

Sorry, for the confusion. These were CRAFTSMAN pliers and adjustable wrenches.

I love this forum. I have had on my "tools to buy" list a tap & die set forever. But really, it sounds like a thread restorer is what I need. I would probably never be cutting new threads, just fixing bunged up ones. Interesting, the Craftsman set linked above shows: "Shipping Unavailable"...

A new Ace hardware just opened nearby so I stopped in Friday to have a look. Craftsman tools there as they have had for a while now, but what caught my eye were crescent wrenches and pliers labelled USA.

Just picked up a 13 pc set of GearWrench 1/2" drive metric sockets, standard depth, 12-point. 12mm-24mm no skips. FYI - $36 at Advance Auto Parts. $10-12 less than anywhere else based on a quick search. AAP also having a 40% off sale on GW ratchet wrench sets. The guy at the counter...

Looking at the DeWalt DW715 12" miter saw for $180. $230 now at both Lowes and Home Depot.

I'll take the golf clubs!!
