I think we all agree that Craftman quality "taint whot it used ta be" Sounds like the biggest bitch is with the ratchets... I can certainly agree with that: my 3/8 drive gets a lot of use and it rea

Ummm, take it back. FACOM tools are great. My ratchets are FACOM. 72 teeth = 5 degrees of swing, plastic handles are comfortable and you can press ON the top, swing the ratchet with pressure applied

Here in the Great White North we have the cultural icon known as Canadian Tire. I somehow usually find myself making a daily trip to one for some needed item. They have a house brand of tools known a

I think they've shifted their focus away from the "toolheads" and to the "general home-fixit handyman guy". Look at all the new universal tools they are coming out with. I recently bought an SK TUFF-

I'd have to recommend _not_ buying the snap-ons. most of them are 30 tooth ratchets, and the q.r.s are 20 tooth. the round heads are some weird number, like 47 or 49. but more importantly, the non-ro

Richard made a good comment to me that I think should be shared with everyone... hope you don't mind! Exactly... imagine my shock when I saw "Robo Grip" pliers in the Facom catalog! I knew Sears didn

I've been very happy with my Craftsman Pro ratchet, but last night I was in a parking lot as the Snap-On man was boarding his truck so on an impulse I stopped him and bought a 3/8" drive ratchet. My

which catalog? were they actual 'robo-grips' or a similar design? by that I mean I've seen 'robo-grips' for sale in home depot with home depot's name and colors on them, but they're the same tool, wi

One thing about the "ratcheting" combo wrenches. They're not Craftsman-branded. And if we had any doubts about the post from a few weeks ago that mentioned Danaher as the maker of Craftsman tools, tu

Speaking of crescent wrenches, I recently picked up a Knipex "plier-wrench" which I now use where I used to use a crescent. There's a good photo of it at http://www.knipex.de/index-e.htm along with a

I haven't seen those but I have a half dozen pair of Knipex pliers. I've actually managed to wear a couple of them out. And my big dykes have a loose slip joint. Coincidentally, all three pairs are M

Catalog "F96" (which I assume means 1996), page 190, "FACOM ROBO-GRIP" Looks exactly like the Sears models but with red handles. The Robo-Grip font is exactly the same, as well. Yeah, I'm not sure w
