picked this up today

[MechanicforLife]

Hey whatsup gang just picked this up today from the sears store close by my house I returned my 137peice tools set and they gave me store credit. Thats the first time I been in sears for a couple of years and I must admit they got a whole lot of craftsman tools.

Heres what I got

I think I m going to take your guys advice and get some Craftsman pros next but this 6 point set is set is huge.THe tool set had the sizes etched in them not the laser cut style and the only thing wrong with the set was the deep 1/4 8mm socket wasnt etched at all its just plain jane with no size printed on it. " My first tool set "

It was either this or the 260 peice thats on sale online right now I chose this one let me know what you think, Thanks

I would replace the 6 point wrenches and the ratchets. Use 12 point wrenches (although keep the 6 point for times needed) and sell off the regular ratchets (or see about returning them under the satisfaction guarantee, may have to break them), and get a set of Breaker bars, and either the round head fine tooth (catalog only) or the Thin pro line ratchets.

This is a good set, but for some things (Dodge brakes, Ford driveline) you will need 12 point sockets (can be bought later).
Other then the newer 1/2" drive, 6 point metric and SAE deep sockets, this set is a MUCH better value then the one you had. (and lighter then the 260 piece set).

Hey thanks for the compliment, I saw all the stuff you guys had and I had to get a good starter kit, they did have the 245 peice there too it was on sale for $190.

Like you said my next purchase is going to be some 12 point wrenches, a husky torque wrench(guaranteed for life). other than that Im good for now got to save my money

Oh yeah I do got a breaker bar too just one though. Store credit for the ratchets?

Be careful on that breaker bar; they have been known to break and cause injuries (myself included). If you can take that one back and get a used 24" Snapon; that would be the way to go, IMHO!

I got mine used at the flea market for $30!

That set has some good staples in it, but you are definitely going to want to take Billy's advice on teh breaker bar... and even the ratchets.

Not a bad score! I like CM wrenches, not to big on their sockets,Soso on their ratchets,you should be OK if you're a weekend warrior.

I hope you got that set for less than $100. I've seen it on sale a few times.

Huh... I'm the opposite. I dig their sockets, not too hot on their wrenches (unless you meant the Cman Pros - I love them) and I don't much care for their ratchets.

The 145 pc 6pt set is great, $90 in the pre sales, and other than the ratchets not a bit of filler.
