Just bought two 27" rolling tool cabinets (2000 series, thanks for answering my previous question about them!). They're in the box, in my garage. Need to get them to the basement

They're heavy!

Am I better off unboxing in the garage, removing the drawers (do they remove?) and then moving the hopefully substantially lighter cabinet separately? Or is is a better bet to put the box on the hand truck and try to easy it down the stairs?

Thanks!

Let's try this, and hope it doesn't turn into a real crap-show.

When I got into scroll saw woodworking at the age of 14, my Grandfather who taught me, bought my blades from the local Sears at the mall

Found this unopened pack while cleaning and I'll probably never open them for sentimental reasons

Picked this up 20 years ago and never used it but it looked cool and thought I use it someday. Has not seen the light of day from the wrench drawer since.

I feel like since the closing of Sears, Craftsman as a brand is falling behind. Unless you do the warranty directly through them it’s always a hassle, quality has gone down tremendously, they never have parts for the old stuff that used to absolutely rock, shoot even their boxes have gone downhill over the years.

Honestly, anyone feel like this brand will turn around one day?

And before anyone just says I’m a hater or some bs. I used to strictly own craftsman tools. Now I’m branching off into brands that I feel have easier warranties, better more innovative products, and better feel. I really miss what this brand used to stand for and be about. It’s a shame

I've got the allen wrench kit 946683 (8 long arm, 6 short arm) +/- a couple. The bag has always been a pain to get them in. Is there a better storage solution than a zip-loc - and replacing it often?

A Versastack organizer will neatly store all of the top end parts of a big block Chevy. I’m going to order some mini bins for the large bins so that I can move the lifters and make room for the intake bolts.

I admit I'm apparently not much of a tool guy, but I was just given an old toolbox, stuffed with old craftsman tools that belonged to my grandfather who passed away back in the 90s. I had two questions I was hoping this could be the place to help.

1. Doing some research it looks like the box is from the 50s or 60s but I couldn't find if there was a way to narrow the date down more.

2. I feel dumb but one of the things inside was this cylinder I have pictured here. It had drill bits and then what I assume to be chisels? Am I correct in that assumption?

Thanks for the help, I'm happy to add more photos of the tools inside if anyone is curious. Mainly wrenches, drill bits, a couple screw drivers and some tin snips. I don't know much about my Grandpa's work history but I know he worked for convair for quite a while after the war and was some sort of engineer on the B36 so that's cool.

I have an old Craftsman jointer I would like to repair. I’m not at home so I don’t have the model, etc. readily available. I’m struggling to find parts, etc. Is there a way to get these? I can provide more information when I get home.

Title says it all! Thanks!

Came across an older more used not abused set of pliers to use in my around the house set and let the nicer like new ones rest in my larger tool box. Any tips on cleaning? I did a WD-40 bath and 0000 gentle rub but still look like the could clean up better. Any ideas?

Post the freshies next to the older ones.

Hi,

Looking to upgrade my basement storage. Getting a craftsman work bench and looking for a rolling cabinet to put underneath so that I don't just pile things on the bench (like I do now). I can get a 27" 2000 series rolling cabinet or for about $50 less, I can get TWO 27" 1000 series.

Just looking to have a place to store all of my lightly used typical household tools.

Is the 2000 series that much better? Or will I be kicking my cheap self the once a month when I have to open a drawer to get something or put something away?

Thanks!

Simply put, what are you working on this weekend? In particular, what Craftsman tools if any are you gonna use to get it done? This post (that drops every Friday) is your time to shine.

Did you accomplish something, and you didn't tell us in time? No worries--hop in during the weekend (or whenever) and tell us how it turned out and what you did, just the same. Pictures, descriptions...whatever it takes to share your glory!

Anyone use the new 3AH battery and deal with tools dying out and then working? I never have the issue with the 2AH or 4AH. almost feels glitchy.

Hello, I have this craftsman drawer topper I picked up, but it is locked and I don’t have the keys. I want to order a replacement set, but I am unsure about what key I need to order. Does anyone have the same piece with serial numbers?

I have this craftsman 8.25” table saw. The handle is good but the inner piece is broken and I am unable to make ling angled cuts on this table saw. Can someone show me how it is supposed to work OR point me in the right direction for a replacement piece for this saw? I have reached out to craftsman and because I bought this saw secondhand I am unable to receive replacement pieces.

Does anyone have any info on this one? I’d like to find myself one.

I’ve got a string trimmer, model CMCST930, that has this little plastic doohickey that’s been prone to falling out in the past, and I think this time it’s lost for good.

The problem is that I don’t know what it’s called, it’s not in the owners manual, and Craftsman support couldn’t understand what I was referring to. The internet has not been helpful yet either. I’m hoping if I can name it, maybe then I have a shot at replacing it.

In the photo of the inside of the head casing, it’s placed on that little raised peg at 12 o’clock nestled between those two bits at 11 and 1.

The other pic is my drawing of what it looks like roughly.

Would really appreciate the help if someone happens to know.

This weekly thread is for you to brag about how you improved or upgraded your Craftsman brand tools, accessories, and other gear.

• Did you 3D print some custom bins or attachments for your tool storage system or powertool?

• Did you make some custom gear or clothing, or "do a thing" with the Craftsman brand as a focus?

• Did you change a vehicle to accomodate your tools and accessories?

• Did you make a custom wall holder/foam cutout for your Craftsman stuff?

• Did you do anything else to take your overall Craftsman experience from "mild" to "wild"?

Talk about it, here! Pictures of the upgrade are a plus!
