I got it on amazon, but they have others that don’t come from amazon. It is a 3 ton. I like it for quick lifts.

My new Craftsman stuff is slowly coming in. I just ordered a new circular saw and battery for around 100 bucks. Walmart has the saw on sale no battery and amazon has the V20 battery on sale if anyone is looking for a new saw. Walmart has some great deals on Craftsman stuff if you are willing to wait a few days vs going into the store and paying full price. I am working on organization and after I get the Camaro ready for Autorama, I will tackle the resto of my Craftsman tool box from 1998. I bought the wife a craftsman vacuum and I will say we have had a few Dyson ones over the years and this one blows the socks off of our last one.

Amazon has these craftsman battery tenders on sale. I mounted one to the wall for the Camaro, and then decided to order another one for the wifes side so when we go on a trip or I get that clients car that their battery has seen better days its nice to have them on both walls.

Amazon Amazon

I also go a Craftsman verstrack wall mounting system and a few of there square shop lights. Amazon has those as a 2 pack for 30 bucks. I also have everything except the drawer tract for one of the drawers to restore my old Craftsman tool box. That will happen as soon as I can get several days in the 60s.

I have several new ratchets other misc things to keep adding to my collection. I need to figure out which complete set I want to give my oldest for his birthday this year. He turns 16.

My collection keeps growing weekly. I need to get the tool box finished so that my stuff isn’t scattered all over the garage. Does anyone have the Craftsman serpentine belt tool? I am curious if it’s worth getting. I tend to default to a breaker bar to remove and replace them.

Waiting on all of my doubles of sockets to arrive. I thought I had bought more of those and apparently I was buying more ratchets and wrenches instead. Those will be here hopefully at the end of the week and then I will start of the 1/2 stuff.
