Hi everyone, I have a few assorted tools for sale. A couple are re-lists from an older ad, others are new. Prices listed are without shipping. Buyer is responsible for shipping costs and PayPal fees, but I'll do my best to keep these as cheap as possible. I have had good results with USPS...

Hi everyone, I have some tools I'll be listing over the next few weeks, but I figured I would start with these. Prices listed are without shipping. Buyer is responsible for shipping costs and PayPal fees, but I'll do my best to keep these as cheap as possible. I have had good results with USPS...

Hi guys, Looking to add an inch-pound scale torque wrench to my tool box for working on a couple of motorbikes in my garage. Looking to go up to around 200 in-lb. I read some older posts and don't mind spending a few bucks on this type of tool. I see CDI and Precision Instruments both get good...

Hi everyone, I have a roll of Harbor Freight branded drawer liner available for free. The roll is approximately 2/3rds complete, but otherwise as new. This is the solid stuff, not the mesh variety. I don't need it, can't bring myself to just pitch it in the trash, and would prefer to not have...

Hi, I have some drawer liners for sale, two different types. First item: One roll of liner similar to a popular style as sold on eBay. Not sure of the overall length of the roll, but I think it is around 6 feet. Width is 24 inches, dark grey in color. I did open the roll to check out the...

I tried finding an old thread or two on this but came up short. Has anyone rearranged their drawer configuration on a Craftsman Griplatch top or bottom chest? The manual states that the rivets holding the slides to the main box structure can be drilled out in order to move the drawers around...

Hi guys, I'm looking to purchase a vise in the 4" size range and was wondering which of the two (new Pro China import or vintage Japan) would be the preferred way to go. If I can find a good price on a vintage USA vise I'll go that route, but I have a line on a Craftsman Pro now. I know it's an...

I know it's been talked about before, I just feel like beating a dead horse. I was tinkering in the garage this afternoon and was a bit shocked/irritated at the amount of space my SAE tools are taking up. My frustration was made even worse when I added up the time those tools have spent doing...

Craftsman 1/2 HP 9-inch band saw with stand. Saw is in great shape and only used a few times to cut wood and aluminum. I have the original owner's manual to go along with the saw as well as a spare blade. Blades can be purchased at Sears or other hardware stores in a variety of teeth...

So, has anyone here that has purchased new production SK sockets noticed any problems with the ball detent quality in the drive end? I ask because a few months ago I came into a few loose sockets that had terrible manufacturing on that side of the socket. The groves for the ball were almost...

Hi everyone, I have a few items that I need to clear out of the garage. Here's the details: Harbor Freight/Pittsburgh brand 4" bench vise. Looks to have been used very little. $5 Sears Craftsman MAPP/Oxygen torch kit. Includes case, torch handle, stand, one tank of MAPP gas and one tank of...

Hi all. Been looking at picking up a set(s) of deep offset box wrenches in both metric and sae. I considered Craftsman, but I don't like the limited size ranges. So, I considered something from one of the European brands like Beta and Facom but they look very similar to the Toptul offerings...

Hi guys, Just wondering, do deep sockets with an internal shoulder pose a significant clearance problem? I am talking about how some deep sockets have the interior hex shape broached almost to the bottom while others only go part way. I guess I'm just wondering why some do it one way while...

Hi everyone, Was wondering if anyone has actually purchased anything from SK since the relaunch. I have a few loose sockets I picked up shortly before the bankruptcy and the quality is so-so. The socket interiors weren't completely finished (got a nice sliver of steel in my fingertip from one)...

we all know the standard craftsman handles stink like crazy over time, but do the red handled items stink as well? specifically, the prybars and the scrapers. for that matter, how about the green hard handled SK stuff? i am replacing some old stuff, and i don't want to get new tools that end...

read some reviews on each and both seem good. any reason to choose one over the other (other than obvious reasons like price and shipping)? to the moderator: sorry if this is in the wrong section, move if necessary. thanks!

Hey guys. I was at a local industrial supply shop this past weekend and got to see tools from SK, Proto, and Wright live and in person. Biggest selection I have seen, this shop had a nice selection of ratchets, sockets, wrenches, and some other "hard line" items. I stopped at the store mostly...

So, I read a lot of posts on here about USA this and China that, but I have a question that has been bugging me since a post I made about MAC tools. If a "made in USA" tool is actually made with "global" components but basically just finished here in the states, how can it really be made in the...

I have a $50 gift card for Sears and I am thinking about adding a set of hose pinch pliers to my toolbox. Sears sells two versions, one made of metal and the other of plastic. The metal versions look like they might do less potential damage to a hose, but they are also kind of bulky. Are they...
