In Europe, yes. In many nooks of US logging country, where the choice is made between Husky & Stihl, no.

On their commercials, in America, they say "steel".

Is permanex the OEM? I use the two smaller sizes a lot for organizing kits and stuff in the tool chest. Been wondering what I'll do when sears goes under or stops selling them.

Here's my haul for the day.

I have the same concern. I was just in Sears yesterday getting my online order, and it really seems like they're getting away from brick and mortar retailing. I like those plastic boxes too. Practically everything in my garage is Craftsman from my original 1986 Craftsman/Waterloo roller cabinet to the wall cabinet to my metal shelving and my original mechanics' starter tool set I got when I was 16.

 

[sam.coll]

In New Zealand and Australia it's pronounced Stihl not steel

 

[dutchgray]

its pronounced steel.

Not steel here either.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

Not steel here either.

Most people here pronounce it still but there website says it is pronounced steel.

 

[Horror Business]

Their website, not there website.

Here are some large SAE wrenches that I picked up from Sears. They were on sale and with points I managed to get them for about $8/each. They're made in the USA.

Bought this on a whim, didn't do much research... came in yesterday and it seems cheap compared to what I payed for it... hopefully it will prove to be a great ratchet

Interested to see what you think. I've wondered if these were more gimmick than substance.

I think clearance would be more of an issue for modern stuff.

 

[RichmanGT]

Got this today....should be epic if it's anything like the 2763!!!

 

[RichmanGT]

Also bought these..anyone else have these? Looking forward to putting them threw their paces

I bought a set quite awhile back when sears clearance them. I later resold it. They're made very well but, I felt it was overkill having more features than I wanted in a ratchet and that it was a little on the short side with the handle being a little too big but, that's just me.

I have a pair that is very similar to those, probably the best gloves that I have ever had. They are super comfortable and are pretty tough. I would definitely go buy another pair.

 

[Strouty]

Those gloves add at least 50 foot pounds of torque to your impact, maybe more. The only problem is in order to get that extra power, you need to wear them on your feet.

 

[merbie]

^ heard that as well

Picked this up at Menards today.... $17.49

 

[Kaervak]

A toolbox counts as a tool right?

They give us those at work, and other than the plastic coming off pretty quick, they seem pretty decent. I hate wearing gloves so I don't use them much.

I had a pair, they were great until they blew out after only a month. I've lost all hope with mechanix wear gloves.

I have the 1/2 and the 1/4, love them both. Work on farm equipment, the 1/2 isn't long enough for many things, but there are times it is the one I use.

The 1/4 is my favorite.

[NUTTSGT]

Had to pick up a new roll of wire the other day. I started to reach for a box of flux (accidently) until I noticed the price difference. . . . holy cow.

 

[therickster]

Look what followed me home! It's a 1985 Laguna FTV-1
It came out of an R&D shop in Pennsylvania I live in Mi
So it was a road trip with little sleep.

My haul from the MAC truck today.

Speeder was a warranty, and a new fine tooth flex bead ratchet.

 

[efb16acrx]

Dropped a cup out of my ball joint press this morning and it rolled under my toolbox and it finally made me mad enough to bend over and buy this. It almost makes ball joints fun. Almost.

I also got a ctr761 but my phone decided I didn't really want to save the picture of it.

Hand Impact drivers can literally save your nuts.... brilliant invention.

How much did the ratchet set you back? Got any more pictures of it. Looks to be nice

 

[LXCam]

Well I finally bought a tool I've always wanted but had no real need. But man are they sure cool and also my first Stahlwille purchase.

And now a question for you guys. This ain't working, anybody got any recommendations for a wrench rack that'll work?.

Looking at how they had them packed in the box has me thinking about machining a rack, but I'd sure rather just buy a piece of plastic if possible.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Those are real nice!

I've always wanted a set of deep offsets from ONE maker. I've sort of got a ******* set, but they are rusty/crusty and from 8+ companies.
