Re: New toys from Sears - Tool Chests Heavy isn't it. I took mine down a flight of stairs, by myself! Just about didn't get it down there. Nice compressor. Hey since it's Craftsman will they replace it free when it breaks?

I think that lifetime warranty only applies to hand tools, not power tools. I think there is a 1 year warranty on power/air/etc.. tools.

Re: New toys from Sears - Tool Chests Drill bits, bolt extractors, and tap and die sets are not warranted either. I can see drill bits. But I think a tap and die set should be warranted...you really don't wear those out.

Re: New toys from Sears - Tool Chests I bought a larger Craftsman Ball Bearing setup a couple years ago when it came out. My problem now is that besides a) Ive run out of room, b) the drawers are difficult to get to stay closed. I open one and because the set isnt %100.0000 level, several other drawers start drifting open. I shut those and others start sliding open. Its like a bad "whack a mole". THe newer Craftsman ball-bearing stuff has a latching handle, and that looks like it would be highly superior. So I need something a) bigger and b) good at staying closed.
Good looking setup! I run my air tools at 120-140 psi though, so I like the dual stage setups. Someday I'll pickup a much larger one.
tools RULE!!!

Re: New toys from Sears - Tool Chests btw.... The big BIG deal to me right now is...
LIGHTING. I htink everyone should start sharing their lighting setups.
I use dual metal-halide 10k 300w lamps so that the light is good light (not some anemic sick yellow) and the duals help the shadows. THeres a set of backup 4 4' garden light flourescents.
I call the MH's "My two suns". I love them.

I showed him in their newest catalogue where it clearly stated "warrantied." He said he was sorry, and got me a new one. I have taken back many punches and chisels and they have warrantied evvery one of them. To me, they shouldn't be warrantied, but who am I to complain?

But it is an upgrade from your old one that fit in the back of the car. LOL

and too little lube are right easy to snap off.
Especially if you don't pull it back out often
enough.
(Cue Beavis & Butthead)
Plenty of broken ones in my tap & die box. The
only reason I kee 'em is, you can grind the broken
end flat and get a usable "bottoming tap" for
chasing blind bolt holes with.

I got one of the 'grip latch' professional units. its a top chest alone. the idea onit is nice, but on mine you have to be right in the middle to get it to pull open, the deaper heavy drawers open a little better, but oh well.
Its not like it takes much time to move over to the center....

Anyway, it's a pretty sweet deal, but for the record... they don't fit inside an F-body
