Hi,
I don't remember a "Craftsman" Tool Talk board, but there was a Tool Talk board sponsored by some sort of on-line tool store from about 1996 or so. It went through several variations and eventually became "Mark Kw's" tool board.
In fact, it was on Mark Kw's board that I learned of GJ. Haven't been to Mark Kw's site in a few years-not sure if its still up and running or not.
A few of the more regular members at the original "Tool Talk" that I remember are:
John Garner, Ratchet Don, Mr. Pogo, Dale Powell and of course, Mark Kw.
Tool Talk was VERY basic compared to GJ, but was the GJ of its day.

I used to be on the Craftsman Club message board but they closed it and made some thing about your sears but I didn't want any parts of that.

I was a member of the Craftsman Tool Talk. I believe I was "LG" there, but possibly lbgradwell...
I didn't post very often, but I recall having discussions with you and Adam and others...
I also remember what evolved into Mark KW's site. John Garner in particular was an excellent source of information in days prior to AA...

Yep I was on tool talk way back. You and Adam were a great wealth of info on craftsman tools. I used the same name there I think. I do believe some where in my old laptop I had a link to pitchers you posted of what you had a your grandparents house.

I don't think that you could have posted photos back then, as that was a text based board....hyperlinks did work though
.I remember predicting that seeing the shift from USA made Craftsman to made overseas Craftsman was going to occur and it was bad business. Unfortunately, it's held true
.I think so...I remember there was a guy named Paul who had some great knowledge of manufacturer history. I know he used several nome de plumes
.Yes, I do remember you too.

I was on that board. Wasn't one of the members a Sears employee that repaired ratchets?

That was "Adam". He is on the current "Craftsman Club" Sears corporate forum/group. I no longer frequent it because of him.
Yes, Adam, a PMT from a California store. A knowledgable guy indeed.

Adam, that was it. Seems he wrote about being frustrated over not being able to get all the rebuils kits he needed for customers.
Hoot, what issue did you have with Adam?
