Re: Craftsman Dog Bone Tool

Was thinking about getting some of these as they seem as though they could come in handy, so I don't have to keep walking back and forth and get another size.

+1. My techs break Snap On shit just as much as any other tool. Why pay more for a tool that has the same warranty as most others that sell for less.

BECAUSE YOU AREN"T A PRO WITHOUT A $75 COPY OF A $25 WRENCH.

Seriously, you always hear this nonsense about how Snap On fits better than Craftsman, etc... Why don't we ditch the subjective bullshit and take an internal micrometer and just measure the span of the socket or wrench?

You could easily and definitively prove how close these wrenches really are to each other.

2 mech at my work have snap on/ matco tool boxes, with a assortment of both brands of tools, the last mech has a snap on box( which sadly he is paying out the ass for) but its full of craftsman tools, mech 1&2 break just as much stuff, if not more, than mech 3. when mech 3 breaks something, he goes back to sears and trades it in, 1&2, wait for the snap on guy to come around

i have tool boxes full of craftsman tools, although i do very minor work, they have never let me down( it also what i was given)

Re: Craftsman Dog Bone Tool

Have not broken a single Craftsman tool. Love the lifetime warranty.
Have bought car specific tools from SO that broke during proper use. (Mitsu timing belt tensioner pulley wrench)
Still agree that SO is overall better, but not on my wallet, and not for my uses.

Re: Craftsman Dog Bone Tool

I've broken a few C-man sockets, but you just go and swap them out for free. Saddens me to see their toolbox quality going downhill and the "MFG in China" stamps going up. Oh well... such is globalization.
