Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 i have always bought cheap ass harbor freight tools or Chinese knock offs. I decided that with my brothers build coming up now was a good time to invest. Plus i got $150 off retail B) im kind curious, what does your tool stash look like? Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 11 years later and I'm sure $5-$10g later...I've got just about any tool need to take apart a Hyundai =) or datsun. no pics though. Good tools are always nice. Its good to now have to worry about sliping wrenches and busted knuckles. You pay more up front, but you make it up in the long run. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 nice!!! My dads tools are all craftsman. I wish I could afford them Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Doubt they will fail, but if they ever do you have the best warranty (well maybe snapon beats it...). My ratchet set is all craftsman. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I never thought i could afford craftsman tools either, but i did the math and ive probably spent more on cheap ass tools that i did on this craftsman set. :unsure: If anybody is interested it retails for around $400 and i got it at sears. I can wait to get them dirty :D Quote Link to comment

I'm not worried about breaking Craftsmen tools, because when I do, all I gotta do is walk into sears and they give me a new one no questions asked. Quote Link to comment
kaoss Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 The day I took my pressure regulator loose from my 60 gallon compressor. Keep in mind it was about 16 feet away. Quote Link to comment

kaoss Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 There was about 15psi of air in the tank. Sounded like a hurracane. Quote Link to comment

Farmer Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Almost looks like the same setup that I have. But in a plastic cabinet. Larry Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 its a 283 pc set, and they did offer it in a plastic tool box too but i figured i was already spending $$ i might as well get the metal box http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00935283000P?prdNo=8&blockNo=8&blockType=G8 - here it is if anybody is interested Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Looks like a metal box on the site? Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 it is, mines metal too. When i was in sears they had the same thing with a plastic box for $75 bux less. I cant find it on their site tho Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 so why was it 400 out the door that one you showed is 340? What else did you buy :D Or is the in store price different? Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 $400 was what they showed as retail at the store. :rolleyes: I paid $299.99 for the tool set and $25 for a new shop light http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_03473941000P?prdNo=12&blockNo=12&blockType=G12 - shop light Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 i also got a $50 gift card for my b-day last year so out of pocket was $150 less than what was shown as full price on the shelf Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 One thing I found out is...if your using sears stuff as a shop tool, do NOT tell them your a tech for a shop. They tend to deny warranties. The guy asked me where I was using my impact screw driver when I busted one of the tips...told him in my garage. Quote Link to comment

Its true, they told me years ago "well, they are not for everyday use" quit buying craftsman then and there but I'm spoiled, I dont go buy tools the tools come to me :P Quote Link to comment
