I was gonna jump in there myself, J, but I know you can stand up for yourself and your stuff. Being a tradesman --carpentry and sheetmetal--I buy nothing but quality tools. Like yours, most of my Craftsman wrenches, ratchets, sockets and associated pieces are around 40 years old. The only issue I ever ever had was a broken ratchet and got a free replacement no questions asked.

Of course, we're not here to argue off topic but to show off our knives :) and as I'll be working in the boathouse this afternoon I'll carry a more appropriately modest blade ;) as I expect to use my Craftsman wrenches for some of what needs doing on the Rossy. :p

I have a bunch of old tools from my father in law when he passed away, most are junk, but all of the Craftsman tools are still serviceable!

Some of those Craftsman tools are over 40 years old, back when Craftsman was big. I still use them today, so I don't see what your problem is.

Misspelling Chris Reeve's name? What a shame...

Craftsman made great tools. Their power tools were ok, nothing special. I have so many wrenches and screwdrivers by them, all are at least 10 years old. I miss Sears.

Office duty today.

Things are great! How are you? I'm actually working part time at my parents office again, but instead of dealing with customers and selling insurance, I'm doing our business' taxes. Ugh boring work.

I love that knife because of how sterile it is. If I squint I can make out "M390" at the base of the blade, and the stylized "WE" on the pivot are the only markings.

My Dad and my wife's--both well-loved and gone--left quite a few tools behind. Their generation came out of the Depression era and, while both guys were hands-on, they were also frugal and didn't buy high quality stuff. A lot of what's been left is low grade, gets set aside, or busted, or tossed. Neither guy had any real conception of sharpening or keeping things keen so any cutting tools are pretty much beyond saving as their solution was bearing down harder and burning up edges.

Most of what came from my Dad in useful condition was good stuff I bought him that he never used. I keep his tools, with some additions of my own, in the shop in a double, rolling Craftsman tool chest I got him many years back and they fill in so I don't have to go to the truck or trailer for some things. I've gradually thrown out most every hardware store counter one-dollar-special screwdriver he ever bought. :rolleyes: It always brings a smile to pull one of those drawers open. :)
