Some sets are half off right now. I just thought id pass it along if anyone is in the market for a kit.

For anyone looking for a good set for us with storage, look no further than the 258 piece set with case. It has enough tools to cover an engine swap in an e30, short of the special inverted and non inverted Torx. I've had mine for 3 years now.

It's too bad they don't make a metric only set. Keep the piece size the same, but only metric.

The ratchets suck, they take too much torque to drive the ratchet mechanism. And the sockets all have these little dimples where the ratchet goes in, so half the time you try to put the socket on the ratchet, it catches the dimples instead of the square hole.

Currently mad at sears for not giving me store credit for an unopened Craftsman brand tool. They can suck it

Thanks for the heads up. I was looking at tools the other day on Amazon.

I gave up on Cman for the chi-com manufacturing of most of the current line up. Not with the pricing anymore, might as well just get H/F stuff (though the pro line still looks to be ok)

I have been buying mostly Wright for tools the last 18 months.

i get you. i have been slowly replacing my craftsman metric tools with snap on as i find good deals on them. however, they are still good tools depending on one's budget-especially at half price-ish.

If you don't mind looking around a bit, you can still find used USA Craftsman tools @ most any pawn shop for cheap.

I just got my 444-piece set a couple weeks ago. I think it was 83 lbs of tools in a medium sized rectangular box. Now I need to find a way to properly secure and store all if it... Open to suggestions.

Oh I know I am not really against them, I have a BIG box full of them, just not reaplaceing them when needed with Cman or buying them when putting truck bags togeather and what not. FWIW the pawn shops around here get more for the truck brands than the truck guys do it seems but wont pay you shit for them if you want to sell anything decent. Save for the one TOOL ONLY shop we have.... But the sanp stuff there is still as much as the truck.

Not a bad price at all on screw drivers:

I wonder how different it is from this one:

http://www.sears.com/craftsman-254-pc-mechanics-tool-set-with-75tooth/p-00950254000P?prdNo=7&blockNo=7&blockType=G7

Which has the 75t ratchet. From looking at the list it's missing the combo wrenches and some random sockets.

In the Army I used a combination of Snap-On, Mac and the occasional SK, so it's hard to downgrade, but it's also a fraction of the price. Additionally, I suspect it's hard to get the Snap-On guy to come to your house. Though it was also a hassle to get him on post, too. Might grab one. Is the difference between the pro and "standard" sets just Made in the USA and the requisite quality that comes with that?

Where are you finding deals on snap-on tools?

EDIT: This is the deal right here: http://www.sears.com/craftsman-311-p...&blockType=G1#

Wide array of 12 pt sockets and ratcheting wrenches. No screwdrivers, but I have tons anyway. Plus standard if you work on any other cars. Dug an old set of off brand out the other day in preparation and they were pretty rusty. Don't buy off brand...
