Tool score at Sears-Dashboard will be proud!
Permalink  
 

Sears has a 1 Day sale up to 50% on specific tools, so scored a 200 piece set for $99, and pneumatic deep sockets for $19!  nana

Went from this set that I've had for over 15 years and has been used on every Chevelle we've owned... yes ALL 6 of them!

To this:

And these:

I'm not even close to the Dashboard level of tool ownership (You know what I mean Kevin razz), but figured it was time to pop for some new ones to replace some of the missing sockets and wrenches that have disappeared in various Chevelle locations (dropped inside the frame... between control arms and suspension parts... etc.  laughing)

Head out to your local Sears today only!

Looks like a good travel set except there aren't enough wrenches. I have a set similar to yours that I got at Northern a couple years back for the same price in a metal box. Only 5 sae wrenches in that too.

Nice set Stan, I can't remember how many times I busted your chops over that old set. I think you should pass the old set down to your son, you know keep it in the family, who knows someday your grandson or daughter may use it.

For 50% off, I would have purchased a set or two of wrenches.

Most of my hand tools are craftsman, I like the free replacement, but they just closed my local Sears in Rochester.

I'm feeling a little embarrassed here... you've accomplished a lot more on your cars in the last few years than I have, and you've done it with a tool set that's less than half the size of the set I got from Santa Claus when I was 13 years old?

You know Derek, they say it's not the size of your tool collection, or even the box it goes in. It's how you use it.

personally, I like always having the right tool for the job.

That's the cool thing about cars of this generation.  Most of them can be worked on with just basic hand tools and free rental tools from O'Reilly's when needed. 

It's o.k. Derek, just think what I could get accomplished if I had more tools and less CADD (Chevelle Attention Deficit Disorder)! clonk
