some cool tool acquisitions

[petty4243]

did some swaping with a local guy on facebook last week, got all the pictured.... snap on 4mm-15mm chrome 1/4 drve set with rail and 3/8 adaptor, 10 and 18mm snappy 3/8 drives, old mac Sabina 7/16 deep socket and 7/16 wrench(offset) not sure if bent or oem.... also near complete sk 3/8 drive metric from 7-19mm missing 10, 15 and 18... imagine that, the snappy and a craftsman fill it out.... also a bunch of assorted craftsman duplicate sockets, short craftsman screwdrivers.... a snappy short driver, a orange handles mini snapy driver and old snappy scrapper.... likely forgot something here..... plus a real nice snow shovel.... and 25 cash on top

what he got from me was old xp lptop needing motherboard and a Toshiba vista laptop that was ok.... but hate vista operating system

should add, if anyone can use the reemer or pipe cutter, would consider selling or swaping, they were just the deal makers and reall have no use aside from shop wall hangings

I would take the SO at the rate you got it for, I like that SK stuff too, have some floating around from good long time ago and at one point when we had a dealer used to get a few singles, would duplicate broken Cman with them. From the parts store they were like 6$ at the time and singles from Sears were not far from that, we would free fix and add extra, dont think I ever busted an SK, got a 9/16 6 pt that has been around a LONG time, been used a lot, still looks good.

In todays world if I had to go to work in the morning and needed a socket set it wouldnt be beyond me to grab something like thwat Evolve stuff from Sears. I dont need it but was tempted to buy it because it was so cute and cheap. 22 pc for 14$ and sets of deeps were some unreal cheap price. Take the packaging off, toss in drawer and unless someone had a magnifying glass wouldnt give it all a second thought. The ratchet was crisp, all super nice finish.

I think they had deep sets as aux in both flavors, price was minor.

when I started as a tech 5 years ago, I had 90% craftsman and other import stuff... mostly basics... stuff got me by... but finding usage of my 1/4 air ratchet is becoming more and more.... the craftsmans did not have all the sizes available i now have.... as well as availability of warranty of the truck tools is better for me as there is not a sears within 45 miles of me.... and sorry, will not touch the evolve line and much of the newer craftsman stuff... a usa thing.... still a proud american and willing to pay more for usa products if available
