ha ha... we have parallel tools

I did find a great use for diesel that you would appreciate, though. I mix it half and half with used motor oil and it makes a great penetrating lube.

That's a good one

Back in my construction days, my crews used diesel as a 'release agent' to stop hot asphalt from sticking to their..... um....... tools.........

It appears that Craftsman has done thier home work and upgraded thier tools over the years. Too late for me though, I'm all set.

Well that make me even more glad I bought a craftsman tool set, the other day I was using my new Craftsman socket wrench to get to my air filter in my Caravan.
I couldn't figure out where it was, I went to my neighbor who has a Caravan also. (I just didn't unscrew enough nuts and bolts)

He had his Craftsman socket wrench in his hand too!

I am a millwright by trade and backyard mechanic by chose . I use my tools my tools on a daily basis and under very tough conditions. I have craftman and snap on as well as many other brands and these days I find that as long as a company is willing to back their tools with a life time warranty they will be of good quality. Most tool failures I have had have come from years of over use.
this is my opinion Daral

Just curious, how many Craftsman tools over the years have you had to replace?
