Yeah, is SEARS going out of business again or something?
Lots of tools on sale for 50% off or so.

 

Pretty sure they’re getting sued by Stanley/B&D for rolling out a new tool line without their approval.

Ouch.
The sales aren't bad though.

 

I believe they are in the process of closing a bunch of stores again. ACE and Lowe's have picked up the Craftsman brand, so you still have a place to exchange/buy more
I picked up 2 of the 169pc sets when they went on sale for $39...……..I still have the 300pc set my dad gave me back in 98. I put one of the sets in the truck. It fits perfect behind the seats

 

Only thing behind my seats is the back o' the cab...
I have a mishmash of craftsman/milwaukee tools. I have a tool bag I usually keep in the truck and my smaller toolbox that sits in the closet. Someday I'll have a garage and actually get more/better tools. I have to keep myself from it now cause I don't have any room for it all.

 

I ended up giving one of the 169pc sets away to @Hafaday when we met up a few weeks ago. I had absolutely no need for it(just bought it b/c of the price).....figured I'd give him a gift for his new taco

 

I've got a lot of craftsman and milwuakee. My corded are bosch and my cordless are all milwaukee. I scored a made in USA craftsman welded steel tool cabinet and a ton of made in USA wrenches and stuff for $1200 a few years ago. That's all good stuff. I also have a 500pc Craftsman mechanics set that gets the job done... But I seem to reach for the USA stuff more often.

 

I have this set and a bag with screwdrivers/junk in it that I keep in the truck under the dog's platform.

I need to start acquiring my dad's USA Craftsman tools/tool chest.

 

I like the Kobalt stuff too. Got a few things from them

 

They make good stuff too.

 

Ooh, I do have a little Kobalt ratcheting wrench that is super handy. Probably one of my most used tools. Has 8mm and 10mm racheting ends and some bits that fit inside for torx/phillips/hex...

EDIT: This
I'm pretty sure the one I have is just an older version of the link. Pretty much the same thing except my case is different and the wrench I have is metric instead of standard. Oh, and mine you have to pop the bit out and flip the wrench over to reverse direction. The one in the link looks like a toggle thingamajig.

 

Morning

 

Hi Murph.

 

Sup Murph

 

Don't you mean ' evening?

Us peeps are getting ready to rack out.

Sporting a little bit of a cold remnant. The annoying lingering, dry, cough.

Nothing a little J&B w/honey can't handle. Yummm.

 

I don’t really know morning or evening. Just times you sleep and times you’re awake.

 

Guy blew up a tig torch at work in my booth today.


Couldn't figure out what happened..

Thr back cap was almost touching the handle. It's a rigid watercooled 250.....


Why do those people make the same money as I do

 

Good Morning Everyone

 

Cause you're underpaid like the rest of us.

 

I think I'm paid enough. I think they're over paid
