The caterpillar version of the 47acf changed how I use pliers. I would always just use them to hold hot or sharp objects, but once I got the snap-on made caterpillar pliers I actually use them to pull or pry knowing they won’t just knuckle bust me like the cheap ones my dad has

So I picked up one of those old top box snap-on boxes for $50. Previous owner said he was in the military and all the dents and stuff were from shipping it back from overseas and the military really banged it up. The bottom of the box frame is bent in in two places, top has a dent in it...

Actually if you don’t mind getting a student a good deal on those wrenches I’ll absolutely pick them up off ya

I’ve mostly been divesting from USA craftsman because lowes has been a pain to warranty through always arguing with them, then having to email Stanley black and decker and not getting the same quality tool back. I’m glad there is a market for older dudes who love the sears USA craftsman stuff...
