Old school Craftsman set

[jdlong]

Boy does this bring back memories. New in box. No it's not mine. Just some wishful thinking. I can't seem to date it. 80's? 90's?

Did they cost that much new?

I don't think so. Seems high to me if not ridiculous. But then I'm clueless really. Will be interesting to hear the feedback if any.

Back in the eighties I remember that you had to pay about a dollar a piece when you bought a Craftsman set. a lot of money back then, but well worth it.

I think it's from the 2000's bud.

I had my start with a Craftsman "kit" somewhere around 1980. I still have everything from that today plus whole lot more

For some reason I keep thinking it was like 270pcs or something similar.

Looks similar to my set I bought in 1980? I think mine was only 200 pieces,, no nut drivers or small things,,,I know I paid $89 and it was on sale at 50% off
Hope the collector enjoys it,,,I won't bid!

The black selectors on the ratchets are a dead give away to late 90's or early 00's+ Before that they had large chrome selectors.

Yea. the plastic ones. I missed that. Thanx. The box art struck me as 80's-90ish.

Another give away, aside from the ratchet design, is that there are languages other than English on the box. This took place in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

This set is insanely overpriced but you know the old saying about a fool and his money. I would not be surprised if someone doles out the cash.

I like how there is no pictures of the tools, just the box and a list.

That's what I was thinking...hopefully the buyer doesn't just end up with am empty box and no tools.

This set is likely less than 10 years old. It still has a page on Searsoutlet.com, looks like retail was $799.99. Price is high, but not too far from unreasonable. USA Craftsman stuff is selling for stupid prices on Ebay lately.

Good eye! I looked a little closer and the set offered is SAE and Metric,,my set was SAE only and toggles on my ratchets are chrome. Thats a pile of money!
