I just wanted to share this new deal Craftsman had to offer. I happened to stumble across it last night and went to Sears this morning and bought myself a set. It's a 200pc tool set and it comes with the molded carrying box. It's basically .50 cents for each tool piece. Plus, Craftsman has a lifetime guarantee for all their hand tools. It's still a lot of money but it's a good investment. I know us mechs loves tools so yea. Just wanted to share this. My total came out to be about $107.45 after California Taxes.
Here's the Sears link: http://www.sears.com/craftsman-200-pc-mech.../p-00933200000P -------------------- |

I would recommend that set to anyone just starting out. Yeah, that looks like a great most-in-one. I'd take this over OP's. Yeah I don't know what you guys are smoking but there is a big quality difference between the craftsman and the other set. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

They're both good sets, its just that I don't remember the last time I have been wrenching on something hard enough to actually break a tool, so I thought that it might be better to get a more versatile set at the cost of a little quality. -------------------- '99 Celica GT - Sold

this may be a better catch-all, general purpose set. The pliers, channel locks, and crescent wrench will generally get a lot more everyday use than the extra 1/4" drive stuff. That was my point too, nicely said. Also, naming is superfluous, as long as the end result is proper. ![]() This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Jun 13, 2012 - 2:34 PM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

Pliers, crescent wrenches and channel locks are very useful, if you are a plumber. They have few places for use on automotive applications unless you enjoy stripping bolt heads.

Pliers, crescent wrenches and channel locks are very useful, if you are a plumber. They have few places for use on automotive applications unless you enjoy stripping bolt heads. Its all a matter of personal preference though. I said earlier that my only problem with it was the redundancy. I personally don't need a set of both 6 pt and 12 pt, regular and deep sockets. Just give me 6 or 12 pt sockets. and this frees up a lot of space for more versatile tools to replace it with such as the extra wrenches, the screwdrivers, and pliers. Hell, package it along with a 16oz claw hammer, and you've got yourself a 90% complete general purpose set. The one thing that both of these sets could use is a universal swivel adapter. So in the end, its just a matter of preference. I just wanted to share this set for those that might need something a little more general purpose. -------------------- '99 Celica GT - Sold
