I'm not crazy about Craftsman's quality in the last couple decades, but at least Craftsman and Snap-On, and most other major brands all have lifetime guarantees. It was nice meeting you by telephone earlier, Dave. |

These calipers will also make a nice poor mans digital readout for a drill press/milling machine quill or a lathe tailstock. |

Got some great gear down at Harbor Freight just wish I had found it sooner. I got those verniers (work excellently) and a 3/8ths click stop torque wrench for the same price and quality seems great. Also large dead stop plastic mallet for 2.99, large grease gun with grease a tenner, just can't beat the value for money. Next on the list will be the 1000LB hydraulic bike bench/lift down from 499.00 to 279.00 with coupon........

They do have their share of un-useable junk. Once bought a pair of plastic handle nut drivers and had one shatter when it fell off a bench. Also have had some open end wrenches that were not accurately sized. These all wnet directly in the trash after 2 minutes in the shop. For me: Good (considering price)- Tape measures, digital calipers, band saw, pneumatic brad nailer & cut off saw (really ineffecient on air use though) Bad - Most hand tools, media blast cabinet; many of their electric bench tools are not available in MD as the motors are not UL rated |

Hey Jim your right, I bought a set of nice looking chrome finish ball end allen keys from HF and took them into work. First time I used them the ball end sheared off in the csk allen bolt and got stuck  Was a bastard to get out. I,ll stick to craftsman/snap on for general work stuff in future...... |
