Bought me some tools.

gmctrucks · 12-13-2008, 09:09 PM

I just picked up two sets of wrenches from Sears one set of standard wrenches from 1/4 to 5/8 and the second set metric 6 to 14 for $21.63 total not bad for some Craftsman wrenches. Just sharing the buy so others can go buy some wrenches at this good price one can't ever have enough tools.

PS-I went by there just to pick up a Craftsman pry bar set for $19.95 from $39.95 but they still didn't have any so I still have my rain check. Plus I also got a rain check for some screw extractors for $9.95 that were $29.95 I love buying tools.

are the extractors the reverse bits or the the reverse twist drill bits?

sure hope you bought enough for the whole class. if you want, i can give you a list since i really dont need the wrenches.

The craftsman prybars are no good sorry to say... very light duty...(: i`d get something else with the raincheck....(:

Craftsman isn't the same as they were 20 years ago. Now they're all made in China using cheap metal, and Sears no longer has a unlimited lifetime warranty. The warranty you do get is a joke, I took a socket set back because I broke 3 of them, and they told me I missused them and I wasn't covered... How the **** does someone misuse sockets....

bradrhale · 12-14-2008, 04:04 PM

by using them as punches first off. i have never had a problem returning craftsman. used a 3/8 drive ratchet to bust lugnuts off and broke it. all they said was here is your new one. had no doubts what i had done when they seen the cheater pipe marks.

I replaced so many craftsman rachets that i no longer carry them... for a while i just picked up spare ones but they broke too.... snap-on has been working fine, as long as they do not grow legs....(:

i use my craftsman sockets when nothing else works just cuz i know i can get em replaced haha. you get some funny looks when you bring in a 3/4 socket that you sledgehammered onto an 13/16 nut... with the nut still in it, haha.

Pantharen · 12-14-2008, 11:48 PM

ok.. well I dont use sockets like you guys. But I've had nothing but headache and BS from Sears every time I tried to return any tool. So I only buy cheap **** from Princess Auto (Canada only) and they're return policy is "no sale is complete, until your satisfied" I've broken a ton of stuff, and they always replace it regardless of how much abuse I put it through. And with Princess Auto, it isnt just tools covered under their warranty it is everything they sell.

There the twist drill bits. I believe that the shouldn't warranty any tool if one miss uses it like my son taking off lugs bolts with a 3/8 racket & socket then him standing on the handle.
