Tools you didn't know you needed

Recommended Posts

Handy Don

My son put me onto this company some months ago and I've gotten several orders from them so far including some NOS Craftsman tools. They specialize in U.S.A.-made tools and at the very high quality end but have an amazing assortment of stuff. Speaking to one of their sales reps last week I learned they are buying up 000's of wrenches from Crescent who are closing their US factory and selling off the inventory.

My most recent purchase was an excellent set of drill bits.

I know that few of us need another tool, but in case you do...

Have you requested the box art?  That's pretty cool and makes me want to order something just for that.

I just got a quote of $10.40 for shipping of a 6-piece Craftsman Pin Punch set. They ship USPS Priority Mail.

The total weight of the set is .88 lb. Length is 7-1/2".

 

As a comparison, my Lug Nut Kits which weigh 1.5 lbs are shipped Priority Mail Flat Rate for $7.55. That same padded envelope will ship up to 70 lbs at the same price.

 

I know this is not scientific, but you decide.

Good point on the shipping. My orders have been pretty heavy stuff--chisels, index of drill bits, pipe wrench--so didn't think the rates excessive for them.

I've had good conversations with their sales team so I suggest giving them a call with your concern.

last thing I got from them was the SK DT80 kit (ratchet mechanism upgrade) - but have not had the opportunity to install
