Re: Craftsman Tools FYI My father has a Craftsman set that he's had since I was knee-high....
Well anyway, that set has taken some abuse (hammers and such) and they work perfectly (like new).

Re: Craftsman Tools FYI I've never hard any trouble with any of the tools except the ratchets. This probably wasn't a factor if it was that long ago, quality control standards have changed a lot since then.

Re: Craftsman Tools FYI You must know I am insanely jealous of your SnapOns SmokeFord. One day! One day! What kinda pricing do you look at for SnapOn starter kits? I've got their catelog but they don't list prices.
But I got the starter 425 piece Craftsman kit and think its great. Since then I've added on, but still, no problems.
Wow...dunno how to get a bolt out of a socket if it's stuck that much. Just beat the crap out of it I guess. Put it in a vise.

Go to www.snapon.com and check out their store, prices are there as well. Have fun!
Re: Craftsman Tools FYI I broke the flip lever on my rachet the other day and returned it. I got a "new" one...with someone's initials engraved in it...I thought it was kinda funny, but it works fine.
