Great to have on the boat or teeruk so you can make repairs on the go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 If I was called "The Tool Man", I'd be expected to have at least 2 of everything! HEY! If you were a Craftsman tool, what tool would you be? It's a simple question, TIM TAYLOR... http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ22nvi_BqTCBO_O0KmJ7LOi2WIVeMMFETMwNJrMsHMBQLrpIClWw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 LOL! That's chinese made. What's funny about that?

Sully Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Either way, it's still Craftsman and has a lifetime warranty. If anything breaks, you take it to the store for a replacement, no questions asked. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampage Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 LOL! That's chinese made. I can't find any info on that either way online. Where do you see that? Either way, it's still Craftsman and has a lifetime warranty. If anything breaks, you take it to the store for a replacement, no questions asked. Right? Craftsman branded is still the same no questions asked warranty. Craftsman Evolv line is all made in China, and requires proof of purchase for its lifetime warranty. I have yet to see any Craftsman branded tools as being made in China, just their Evolv line. I will say I do like the Evolv tools, what I have has been great so far. I have a large Craftsman tool set that is ~6 years old and some of the sockets have chipped the finish and one of the ratchets has a terrible action in it, from very light use. I believe they are all US made. So they aren't perfect either but they do work. I have some Craftsman Professional line screwdrivers that are very nice, and US made, and weren't very expensive. I think Craftsman is having to cheapen their lines in order to compete with Harbor Freight. I can't say I've had any tools from there that I would consider nice or quality. Craftsman is not nearly as nice as Snap-On but its also a fraction of the price so I'll stick with them, even their Chinese made tools so long as they continue to be the quality they are now. I'm still getting what I expect to get for the money I'm spending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craftsman's tool production isn't only taking place in the USA. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=194980 Danaher is a mixed bag, I'd wager to say 80% of it is made overseas and all of it is made from imported material. They do sneaky stuff, like machine sockets in china and then ship them here to stamp sizes and chrome them. US made from imported material... The LOL was because for $80 the odds of it all being US made is very very slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8tn Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 It won't accept the TOOL15 code....only the VALPAK5 code but it shows as free shipping. Has anyone gotten both codes to work? I went to order a set for the camper but $95 doesn't sound near as good as $80 for a spare set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Did you folks sign up for the club membership? Maybe that'll knock it down to the right price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
