craftsman raised panel made in japan

[dieselmike]

well, many of you saw the chinese raised panel combo wrench i posted a little while back.... now heres a japanese one!! this one is old, probably 70s or 80s.

I have a full set of these made in japan combos, both metric and standard, that came in one of the big sets I got back in the early 80's.

I use a set of them from time to time. They are good wrenches. I would even dare to say my favorite raised panels.

I remember these back in the mid 80's. There was a
big out cry and Sears quitely backed off. This time
I don't think they will listen!

You should put that in the Japan thread.

 

[PassnThru]

I have a full set in standard. Didn't even realize it until I started hanging out here. They have not been a problem thus far....

I bet those wrenches are better than the US made ones of today.

 

[Super Sport]

I have one of these as well. It really threw me off at first but then I searched GJ and found some threads on it. It seems just as good or even better as any other Cman wrench...

I have one too. I believe the previous threads said that the molybdemum was actually stronger than the chromevandium the USA wrenches are made from.

As most know, by the 1980's anything with a "made in Japan" on it is actually a good thing.
