Craftsman USA Wrench Set - New

[Dzmax77]

I don’t know if someone already commented on this but I see USA made craftsman wrenches on Amazon. Thoughts?

Craftsman Industrial 22-Piece Full Polish Combination Wrench Set - Inch/Metric Made in USA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G9W1DSD/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Glad to see Made in USA but that's a pretty anemic selection to be called a set, especially at $250. JMO.

250 bucks for that? Im forking out another few bucks and buying snap on..

A "few" ??? Bucks lol

 

[housewolf]

We all have different needs but I’m not getting off $250 for a ”set” of wrenches that doesn’t have a full size wrench larger than 13mm

Industrial? Are those some old stock that someone is trying to sell? I have some craftsman industrial sets that I bought over a decade ago, never used them.

Looks like old Craftsman Industrial series leftovers trying to fish for the Ebay Crazies on Amazon.

The Craftsman Industrials were probably the best version of the US made full polished wrench set but, definitely not at that price.

most likely, they sell well on Ebay if they're the full polished versions.

Yes indeed it is old new stock that you are seeing, inflation at its worst...

Hell no. They're full Polish!

Not interested in the set, but did score a 1/2 inch stubby combo for $5.81. The one I had disappeared. I expect I'll find it now.

Definitely NOS! I own both metric and sae full complete sets of
the long patterns, plus full complete backup sets stored in case I ever need to warranty one to myself, haha! They're from the big Sears Outlet clearance of 2012, for those of us old enough to remember. Manufactured by Armstrong and super nice wrenches!!!

Those are really nice looking.

Thanks!

Ahh, I knew something was off. I tried searching to see if anyone posted anything on this and nothing came up. I was sure someone would have mentioned it. Now I know why

I didn't realize it was that long ago.

I actually started that thread 10 plus years ago. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/craftsman-industrial-full-polish-wrenches.166062/ They are well made wrenches but there have been a couple of issues with mine. I have a set of Proto ASD wrenches right next to them in my box and the Craftsman have some mild oxidation issues in the garage while the Proto's do not. Also the open end does not grip as well as some other regular wrenches I have. I'm not counting the Proto ASD's or Wright grips as regular either. It's weird but I have a bit tighter fit and less slippage with my old Craftsman raised panels. IMHO there are much better choices at the $250.00 price point.

To the best of my limited knowledge I don't own any Polish Wrenches. I do have a Black & Decker 9/16 combination wrench marked "made in West Germany" .

 

[71goldss]

Zero issues with mine. My son uses his daily at work in an industrial setting, and also no issues.

While that is listed under "Craftsman store", I don't see those when you look for wrenches on the store. I suspect this is a 3rd party seller trying to take advantage of buyers willing to pay. It doesn't seem like that price reflects SB&D pricing intent.

 

[Rinspeed]

250 bucks for that? Im forking out another few bucks and buying snap on..

The SO ten piece metric long flank drive set I have is now up to $600.

 

[rust in the eye]

A near worthless "set" in my opinion.
The largest wrench is 3/4" and a stubby, WTF?
$250? Phht!
