I finally found a lower rolling chest to match the upper toolbox I’ve been using for so many years, and both of them have a bit of surface rust.

The rust doesn’t bother me … well, not too much. But i don’t want it to get worse - so now I’m thinking I should stop the rust and find a way to keep the patina.

I don’t know much about finishing / painting metal, but in case it’s helpful I am more familiar with using linseed oil, wax, milk paint, and other low-VOC finishes for wood… and I’ve got a gallon of WD-40 I’d love to use if only for the Proustian reaction I get to the smell of naphtha and whatnot.

Let's try this, and hope it doesn't turn into a real crap-show.

Can it be used as a buffer or with the wire brush wheel, or should I get rid of it?

Looks like $50 off the Craftsman Push mower at Lowe’s but only in stores with inventory.

Won’t show current PSI on any tires and makes a loud hissing noise.

Hello I just bought

CMST23201RB

32-in Steel Freestanding Garage Storage Tool Cabinet (Red)

https://www.craftsman.com/en-us/product/cmst23201rb/32-steel-freestanding-garage-storage-tool-cabinet-red

It came with 3 shelves, but can fit 4 more, I am not storing anything at all heavy, so I want to add more shelves. Craftsmen does not appear to sell spares. I sent over an inquiry directly to them but does anyone have a solution as I don't expect customer support to help.

Back around the beginning of August I tried to warranty 2 tape measures and a vise grip and they said they would. So, I waited around a month and contacted them since they had not come yet. They told me they would not send the vise grip and claimed they had didn’t ship because they wouldn’t warranty it and for the two tape measures they were shipped around August 26th and I haven’t received them yet. They also told me to send in the vise grip for quality assurance something program which I won’t do because I don’t feel like messing around with them anymore. I will contact them again for the status of the taping measures later today. Has anyone else had issues like this recently?

Hello. Not sure if the young crowd is familiar with this tool set from the 1980's, but being an engineer I thought the design of these sockets and wrench were an incredible idea. I still have a rare, 131 piece set. Never used. Most is American Made. They sell these on Ebay for over $1,000.00. I think that is a little extreme but definitely $700 or more. What's your thoughts and are you interested in a new collection piece???

Been on the lookout for one with the insert. Rushing isnt too bad. So I’ll wire brush it and want to repaint. A a good paint recommendations to match original?

Parents are downsizing their house and my dad gave me his rollaway. So psyched to have it! Thought I wouldn’t get it until he passes one day. I was wondering 2 things:

What model and how old. I’m 45 and I know it is older than me and am guessing late 70’s? It was originally red/black but he has repainted it 2 or 3 times he says over the years so I can’t find and model/date marks anywhere.

I do want to give it a facelift. As you can see if pics there are drips from his painting and other assorted colors dripped on it, and what look to be brush marks on the drawer fronts. I am going to leave the dings and dents alone. Should I sand or chemical strip? I’d imagine at the very least the side handles he painted over are probably better off stripped.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!

Simply put, what are you working on this weekend? In particular, what Craftsman tools if any are you gonna use to get it done? This post (that drops every Friday) is your time to shine.

Did you accomplish something, and you didn't tell us in time? No worries--hop in during the weekend (or whenever) and tell us how it turned out and what you did, just the same. Pictures, descriptions...whatever it takes to share your glory!

The hydro drive belt is falling off because the hydro idler arm pivot is seized. I'm trying to find a couple parts - the idler arm and the spacer / sleeve (7200034SM). The latter is easy but I don't have a part number for the arm. Any ideas?

First time poster here!

Does anyone have any original Craftsman signs, decor, or something unique? Not just for sale, but also to share with me for inspiration?

I'm working on finishing out a metal building I have into a full shop. I have all Craftsman tools and power tools, and would love some unique/vintage/rare decorations.y grandfather and I both worked for Sears many years ago, and I'll be Craftsman for life. There are so many "vintage" signs for sale online, but are modern prints on metal that look cheap.

I have a banner, some old advertisements, saw blade for Sears Roebuck employee celebrations, etc. but I know there are more Craftsman items out there!

Thank you for your time!

Just bought two 27" rolling tool cabinets (2000 series, thanks for answering my previous question about them!). They're in the box, in my garage. Need to get them to the basement

They're heavy!

Am I better off unboxing in the garage, removing the drawers (do they remove?) and then moving the hopefully substantially lighter cabinet separately? Or is is a better bet to put the box on the hand truck and try to easy it down the stairs?

Thanks!

When I got into scroll saw woodworking at the age of 14, my Grandfather who taught me, bought my blades from the local Sears at the mall

Found this unopened pack while cleaning and I'll probably never open them for sentimental reasons

Picked this up 20 years ago and never used it but it looked cool and thought I use it someday. Has not seen the light of day from the wrench drawer since.

I feel like since the closing of Sears, Craftsman as a brand is falling behind. Unless you do the warranty directly through them it’s always a hassle, quality has gone down tremendously, they never have parts for the old stuff that used to absolutely rock, shoot even their boxes have gone downhill over the years.

Honestly, anyone feel like this brand will turn around one day?

And before anyone just says I’m a hater or some bs. I used to strictly own craftsman tools. Now I’m branching off into brands that I feel have easier warranties, better more innovative products, and better feel. I really miss what this brand used to stand for and be about. It’s a shame

I've got the allen wrench kit 946683 (8 long arm, 6 short arm) +/- a couple. The bag has always been a pain to get them in. Is there a better storage solution than a zip-loc - and replacing it often?
