Totally worth the $15 I paid. |

Man I wish the site was still tweaked on..... we totally need a "Rise from your grave!" clip to play every time a necro thread gets bumped. A heat gun seems like the dumbest tool, until you own one and you realize how stupid you were for waiting so long to buy one. Mine has gotten a lot of use over the years..... they are particularly good for stripping decals and cpos off of cabinets. I'm kind of neutral about the whole HF thing.... I used to buy a lot of tool at BigLots back when BigLots was actually a closeout store and not just a really crappy K-mart. I also have a lot of craftsman stuff. For me I try to get really cheap tools when they'll probably be one time use, but stuff like wrenches and screwdrivers are always better if they are name brand because that cheap steel just doesn't hold up. That being said, most craftsman stuff is made in China now so you are really only paying for a brand name and a lifetime warranty. |

Craftsman is "name brand"? Yeah, OK... ::) They don't honor their warranties to those who are professional mechanics for a living. Says a lot about how their tools hold up... |
| Howard_Casto:
I'm not sure what you are talking about. All craftsman hand tools have a lifetime warranty. You don't even have to explain what is wrong.... walk in with the broken tool, walk out with a new one. If you've had a different experience then I would suggest going to a less crappier Sears. |

It's because nobody but a professional mechanic would use a cheater bar and they instantly get suspicious when you show up with a 3/8 wrench snapped in half. So the mechanics spend twice as much for Snap On tools and moan about not getting calendars anymore. |
