Everyone talking shit on Craftsman, the newer stuff is actually doing pretty good on project farm tests. Like any other box brand it's probably tool by tool, but Stanley Black and Decker are actually doing a pretty good job with the brand compared to the last 20 years Sears had it. I'd say the new screw drivers are definitely better than the ones I had in 2005.

I don't really shit on them, but you need to know that they are not the old C-man and if you have an old American made C-Man ratchet or something like that and it goes bad you are better off getting a NOS USA made rebuild kit from eBay and rebuilding it yourself. If you want a brand-new tool, send me the old one and I'll pay for your new tool.   lol

Just picked up a Milwaukee M12 3/8" impact that I am stoked on.  M12 is good enough for light duty moto stuff, IMO.

Did you get the HD deal from a couple weeks back? $159 w/ the battery & charger

I wasn't planning on getting it as i picked up a IR air impact recently, but at that price i figured it'd give me a larger spare battery for my other tool + not have to deal with air hoses for the bulk of impact work.

Awesome setup!

Thanks. Spent the first 6 months of the year re-wiring and finishing it out. It looked like a coffin before (black plastic liner on all walls just waiting to suffocate you).  2nd half of this year has been figuring out how to finish the organization side and get it where i enjoy working in it.

I find i get burnt out or annoyed very quickly in clutter and no organization so this seems so far to be helping a ton with my desire to be out there.

I missed out on that one.  The version I have is the stubby 3/8's with the 5.0 battery with charger (which I didn't need).  $300 list, on sale for $249 from HD, $229 at checkout. lol
