That P-aneer don't look so Grand bruh!
It needs to be chopped up for parts. But the homeowner thinks it’s worth big money :facepalm: but like classic cars it will cost more to restore then it’s worth.

It was left in a house that hasn’t been lived in for 40-50 years. Roof had been leaking onto it for who knows how long.

Cooled back down again last night enough to get a firewood truck off the landing this morning.

Did this by hand......99% certain this was purchased BEFORE Craftsman started outsourcing to chinese made pieces (~'98 purchase if I remember right).

That was doing final torquing while rotating tires on the 0FsQ7 on Saturday afternoon. Would have thought a 17mm socket could have handled the 125ftlbs. Weird.

Also.....I always forget how much this cars tires look like steamrollers because they aren't exceptionally tall, but they're wide as dammit. 295/40/21's

If that’s what fits your lugs it’s probably seen an impact gun a few times in it’s life?

There is an interesting chronology on Craftsman tools here, that may or may not be correct.

I personally stopped buying them around 2008 when I found the stores making it difficult to replace a hand tool under the warranty. Someone told me that the people who make Home Depot’s Husky tools are who previously made Craftsman, so I’ve been buying them even since. (When I’m not slumming it with Harbor Freight.)

By that timeline it's definitely a US made piece. Interesting article.

I'll probably move to Kobalt for the replacement if Lowes won't exchange for free. Lowes is closer to the house than Home Depot.

First good day since we put the boat up in November. Water was a bit brown from all the rains. But nice warm day
