I'm wondering how everybody decides when to purchase and where to use individual drivers versus using insert bits? I have a nice selection of standard slotted and phillips drivers along with a few pozi-drives. I have inserts for torx, square drive, hex, and nut drivers. Plus duplicate inserts...

I just received this 10 pc. Facom set from an order placed in June. The set has been discontinued, and Brandsplace had mis-marked them at $5.95. I didn't want to be greedy, and so only ordered two sets. But they shipped just one, saying it was the only one they received. I was happy they...

I've got to agree with Merkava; the clear-handled screwdrivers from Sears are not the best. I'd like to replace my screwdrivers and have really enjoyed the various recommendations and opinions on the other brands available. I'm waiting for a screwdriver drawer tour by Moose, which is mostly...

I'm currently using a set of Craftsman Thin Profile ratchets in each drive size, plus a set of the Craftsman raised panels (and they are junky) in each size, and a nice enough round head Husky in 3/8. I would like to lose the bad Craftsmans and replace them with something good. For...

Is there a difference between the Northern 1/2" extension set for $13 and the GearWrench for $37? If so, what would it be?

After enjoying the advice and opinions here, I decided to clean up my old mis-matched and incomplete wrenches and start anew. I've always enjoyed hand tools as objects of art in themselves, not just as means to an end, and decided to elevate my new stuff to the full status of man jewelry. With...

How about a section for new stuff that's on sale somewhere? People could post on different tools, equipment, supplies, garage furnishings, etc. that they've stumbled upon. Sears is probably at the top of the list for regular, rotating items at some good discounts, but Harbor Freight, Home...

I'm upgrading the tools aspect of my life, and it's going to include the wrenches drawer. I'm a hobbyist, and will be buying Craftsman Pro or Gearwrench stuff because it's better than I need and pretty enough with its full polish. I also have a close, very well stocked Sears nearby, and know...

Does anybody have a handle on Craftsman prices? Is there any given time of the year when there will be a sale on things that is known in advance? Or is it just that something will always be on sale? Does the Craftsman Club always get you an extra 10% off anything that's normally priced and...

In the Craftsman catalog, it says "6-point wrenches, Preferred by professionals, 6-point wrenches maximize fastener surface contact for a more secure fit to minimize rounding over corners or slipping off a stubborn fastener." That seems true, and assuming that the vast majority of wrenching is...

Can anyone tell me why the Grip Latch drawers have two catches? As you slide a drawer closed, the latches will spring into a "receptacle" that will hold the drawer in a position that's about one inch from being closed. If you continue to push the drawer, the latches will drop down and rise back...

Sorry if this is OT, but my 5 year old granddaughter has expressed an interest in the names of tools and what they're used for. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a simple project that would start teaching some of the principles of fasteners, mechanical functions, etc. I was trying to...
