There was quite a dust up around this. When you ask who makes craftsman, they are owned by Stanley black n decker. One of the big players in the "tool game". TTI is another big company that owns a big chunk of the brands you likely know.

SBD opened a shiny new factory in TX IIRC. To make Craftsman USA made again. It has already closed. In looking at the tools depending on what they are depends on where they come from. China, Taiwan, or other eastern countries are most of it. Most of the power tools come out of China.

Find the graphic I want.....

Then you can't say all Craftsman are made in china, because "craftsman" is a pretty wide range of products. You also can't say a Ryobi is the same as a Ridgid as Milwaukee, they are all owned by the same guys, but there are differences. There are "tiers" to the products. Interesting enough if you have seen the white power tools at walmart branded Heart....i think, those are also made by TTI, a pretty big player.

Then you get into changes, the Milwaukee 2767 is the tank of the 1/2 impact world, thing has great power and strong as hell. So what do you think they do to it. Try to make it cheaper (my theory) and they are total garbage. People traveled 100 miles to find a 2767-a and would walk out empty handed if there was a B, there are videos of B's destroying themselves in the parking lot of Home Depot after being bought and the guy walking back in. Torque Test did a real big deal with that and I think had a HUGE part in making Milwaukee own this screw up. And they made it right by the customers.




All that’s true. I’m just extra salty about Craftsman and Sears in general. For a homeowner the hand tools are acceptable. I haven’t used the power tools. I maintain none of the new Craftsman match to old Craftsman.

Where does it say I was hunting?
I was kicked back relaxing up in an elevated shooting platform watching a new day dawn and enjoying a good cup of coffee while waiting for the morning fog to burn off enough to shoot some reactive targets.....
I have a sneaky feeling you will there waiting when hunting season comes around, coffee and all.
 
I owned a Regal for some years. I bought it when my son was a senior in highschool and it had the 455 motor. Years later he fessed up to out running every fast car in the county with it.
You remember those jobbies with the real long handle.
Sure do. I used one for years until It just went up in smoke one day. I have owner stouter drills since but none better.
 
I got a set of craftsmen from my dad for Christmas when I was in HS. Early 00's. Have mostly been buying craftsman these days so everything matches. Quality is good enough for my purposes. For hex bit sets I have been doing wiha or Milwaukee with my Dewalt drills.

I work on my own stuff at home. No lift, not professional, have tools supplied for work by work (aerospace cnc grinder). Most recent job I used tools for was changing shocks and struts on my wife's 2010 rav4.
In 1967 at Christmas my grandfather gave me a Craftsman 2-drawer tool chest with with a complete set 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" ratchet and sockets as well as open and box end wrenches. Still have it and has held up well. They were well made especially in light of the quality that is sold today. Most of the power tools today are throw away chinese crap. Have a cabinet full of 30+ year old US made Porter Cable power tools that work like the day I bought them. The hedge fund financial engineers are the culprits behind the demise of the US tool industry.
 
In these days, quality in tools is pretty much defined by Harbor Freight. Went to my local hardware store to get a needle nose pliers (to replace the pliers that the lake swallowed up on Tuesday, the only tool that did not have a string or small rope tied too it.) Best I could find was made in Vietnam. Expensive to be sure, but not USA.

So, since jsut about everything appears to be chinese disposable, might as well get chinese / harbor Freight disposable.

(their 9mm latex gloves in xl actually fit :) )

My bad, I thought the 610 was on a K frame. lighter would come from the shorter barrel and lack of a full under lug too.

There is an L-frame, too… that was a bit bigger than a K and had a solid under lug on longer barrels.

Model 10 was a bull barrel blue K-frame, IIRC. Model 65 (and 66) was stainless equivalent. Something tells me the 610 was an L-frame.

Sirhr

PS looked it up. 610 is an N-frame.

Yes, I double checked after being corrected. I was thinking of the discontinued L-Frame 10mm. The Model 10 is a 38 Special.
I do love the Model 15 and 19 too.
 
Nothing showing up it appears, Waiting, waiting---- :D Hunting is when you get on the ground and out in the trees and bushes with them.

I know, lots of places that doesn't work. It was posted in fun anyway. Hope you got or get something------while waiting. :ROFLMAO:
Oh there's plenty showing up.
A good many young bucks and more does and fawns/yearlings than you can shake a stick at.
I've been waiting for doe season to open, which it did this morning, so I can thin some of them out.
They are way over populated in these parts.
As far as your definition of hunting goes, I agree with you 100%, and have BTDT for most of the 44 years I've been hunting deer.
Spent many a day in the swamp up on a climber watching a well used trail, or else sitting flat on the ground doing the same when there wasn't a suitable tree to climb.
Bad knees forced me to finally give up those methods several years ago so here I am, sitting in a vertically challenged box blind drinking coffee and waiting.
Some days my knees act up to the point I can't even climb up in a 6 foot stand.
Very few real hunters left around here now.
What the vast majority call hunting these days amounts to pouring out a pile of corn a hundred yards away and sitting up in a stand they bought from Cabela's guarding it.
It hasn't been a total bust this season.
Killed this one a couple weeks ago for my neighbor to take up to his son in Tennessee.

That or the newfangled spouts on gas cans. Those are so stupid I machined a new one out of scrap aluminum. Know what it looks like? A spout with a hole in it that gas flows freely out of.

Or maybe bicycles, especially the ones in the middle of the road. That's probably it.

New gas cans with the EPA designed nozzles are proof that anything the government touches it fucks up.

I can sympathize. I have gone from walking normally last spring to using a cane and am now hobbling short distance with the aid of a walker. Seems I have a vetebra turned somewhat sideways in my lower back pinching a nerve that is the suspected cause of this. I am just waiting to have a new MRI to confirm and see what is going to be done to fix me. If hunting stands were allowed in my state there is no way I could get into one.

Ouch.
Hope you can get fixed up soon bud and get back to enjoying life.
Don't know how you feel about prayer, but I'm gonna pray for you anyway.
 
If I ever find who approved those things I’m gonna slash their tires. Nearly takes three hands to get it working.

I throw the nozzles away and fill from the can. Slops a bit of gas around(which is what the ass-pirates at the epa were trying to stop). But doesn’t splash in my eye, take forever… break…

Finally put in a 300 gallon diesel tank this summer, too. Now I fill from a pump.

Oh and you can’t slash the tires… the Manbun-sporting twerp who designed them probably rides the metro or a ghey-assed little scooter with handlebars thingie.

Probably never touched a piece of equipment in his life. Except his boyfriends junk.

This is EXACTLY how this torture device was created - nobody in the real world slapped them in the back of the head for a reality check and they never mowed a lawn as a kid. And they were proud of their creation, while never realizing people will just pull them off and spill more than before.
 
Send me a link for a 5 gallon Wavion can purchased after this madness. I know they make them but not sure which is actually the correct fit.
I don't know Jerry cans. I just know the Eagle and Justrites.

Wife got a Sure can 2 gallon at a conference for free. They're not too bad. Made local to me.

That's the cans I have, I was looking for an aftermarket spout.
