New guy from Florida. I work on cars and remodel houses. Having to start over with my automotive tool collection. Where I live now, there’s not a decent supply of quality used tools for a good price, like there is/was in California. I got burned by Craftsman back in the 1990s and early 2000s, when they discontinued a ton automotive tools that had a lifetime warranty. I had bought a lot of stuff new, but stupidity didn’t keep the packages or receipts. I was SOL when it came time to warranty them. No replacements and no refunds. Because of that I’d have a hard time buying anything Craftsman now. I’m thinking of Harbor Freight. Seems like they’ve really improved their quality. The new Icon line looks impressive for the price.
Welcome to the forum and the crew. That sucks about Craftsman. After I get burned by a product or company, it’s very hard to go back. I don;t have much experience with harbor Freight but I know some guys on here have talked about those hand tools.
I’m from Sydney, Australia. Welcome to the forum, I’m also new here I hope we enjoy the community and we learn from each other.
