Hey, looking for a variety of US Craftsman tools. V^ stuff is fine: Looking for SAE and Metric for all of these and ideally looking for for sets (I want to avoid trying to piecemeal a bunch of stuff together) - RP stubby wrench set - SAE acquired so just looking for Metric sets now - 3/8 crows...

Hey everyone, I was looking at picking up a finish sander (Makita BO4556K) and I decided to see if my local Ace had one and turns out they have a made in the USA Skil 7275 sitting on the shelf! Looking it up online it might be as old as I am since the only info I could find was it was made in...

Hey, I have some torque wrenches covering 10 ft/lbs to 250 ft/lbs and I keep running across bolts requiring less than 10 ft/lbs (engine work) and I was curious if you prefer micrometer click type torque wrenches or dial torque wrenches? The two I have are PI split beam wrenches (and I love...

So, I've spent the last 6 or 7 days reading just about every thread on here I could find about ratchet crimpers and had a couple questions for those with the Tool Aid crimpers. I've been looking at picking up the 4/ 6 or 9 die sets. 1). Is there a heat shrink die set for it? Could you use one...

Living in an apartment my tool storage options are limited so I've been trying to find some empty blow mold cases that I could put foam into to make 'custom' tool storage cases but I'm having issues finding a good source of these. I know most people here either toss the cases or put them in...

Hey, doing some cleaning with my parents today and came across what looks to be a Millers Falls hand drill. I'm not sure exactly which one it is though. I thought it might be a #2 It works pretty well but I can't get the chuck to grab anything too tightly. I've been checking out this massive...

Over the last few years I've been trying fill in some tool gaps with as much Craftsman stuff as I can before it's all made overseas but it seems like it may be too late. I stopped by my local Ace and Sears store and nearly everything I saw was made in China (some of the random stuff I checked)...

Hey, I have a 2 PI split beam torque wrenches (which are awesome) that cover me from 10-250ft pounds. I was looking at getting something to cover the lower end as well as some slight overlap with my 10-50ft pound wrench. Anyone use the M1R200HX? Thoughts? It has a range of 30-200 inch pounds...

Like the title says, the WES51 (non digital version) is on sale for 78 bucks. Pretty much the cheapest I've ever seen that. I have one of these and it's pretty nice.

It looks like the current version of the c3fr250f has a blue coating on the handle and is square and the older version just used a simple round metal grip. I was just curious if anyone had any opinions on the two? I ask because I thought I saw somewhere people generally preferred one or the...

Hey, I have been looking at picking up some kind of ratcheting wrench set and was at home and noticed my dad had a pretty much new set with VA stamps. The part numbers for the set are: 42633 5/16” 42634 3/8” 42635 7/16” 42636 1/2" 42637 9/16” 42638 5/8” 42647 11/16” 42639 3/4" There is...

Hey everyone, I have a DK13HLQ and pretty much the only thing I didn't like about it was the handle screws into the base. For storage needs I needed to take off the handle and unscrewing it every time wasn't a great solution so I went looking for a quick release setup and found something so I...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has set up a quick release for their dk13 jack handle. I measured it out and the diameter of the screw ss about 5mm or 3/16" (the manual doesn't say it's specific size). I was looking at using something like a quick release pin or the spring pin that...

Hey, I have some Craftsman tools for sale. I have this 43 piece wrench set brand new in box, this 46 piece 1/2" socket set new in box and some miscellaneous sockets. The sockets are all new, some are just beat up from the factory. Socket set: $130+shipping Wrench set: Sold! Sockets...

I managed to get the 299 piece craftsman set for 287+taxes over Christmas and finally finished getting it organized.... First set I got, had them laid out on the floor organized and was waiting for my rails to come in when a water pipe burst in the apartment of the neighbor that lived above me...

Hey, I just got a couple craftsman ratchets and breaker bars (they call them flex handles) and wanted to check who they were made by. I tried looking up and found this thread that had a lot of information. The ratchets seem to be the last gen US made ratchets but anyone have any info on the...

Hey, I've been in search of a jack for a bit now and come across a ton of different stuff but am looking for a bit of advice. I like the DK13HQL but it's pretty expensive to get shipped. I found a Brunnhoelzl Pro lift at local pawn shop for a decent price (almost opposite ends of the spectrum...
