Craftsman Tool Kit

This is a pretty screaming deal. I'm in no way affiliated with Sears, in fact they've pissed me off lately, but this is the same tool kit my dad bought me when I was 15. Its a great set of tools to throw in the back of the car.

http://jalopnik.com/this-220pc-mechanics-tool-set-for-80-is-worth-the-effo-498570485

I just did the check out like the guy on Jalopnik said, and it was 79.99 final price. 86 and change after taxes with free shipping.

Thought I'd pass this along

I have 36 complete sets of mechanics tools that I got through a misunderstanding when I bid on a govt surplus load that was mislabelled.
THAT's a deal and yes I am trying to sell them but slowly, becauise I have so much stuff it gets in the way, packed to the gills in a 15,000 cubic foot warehouse.

This stuff is literally so packed I need a weekend to go over and photograph. Life is complicated because I am clearing out my late ex-wife's property, not tending to my own items. Plus I just came back from california (4600 mile trip) to get a 1937 Citroen 11BL sedan.

Got the Craftsman Tool Deal that I posted about. 4 boxes came to the office. 3 were small 1 was large. The Large box had my name on it. We oped the boxes. Everyone else in the office got their tools in a small sleek briefcase size box. Mine was in a larger suite case size box. Open the boxes and start looking at the tools. My tools all say "made in the USA" the other 3 boxes all have the same tools but none of them say made in the USA. The tools in the other 3 boxes are all a little fatter and less refined looking.... Thanks Sears for selling crap you can buy a Harbor Freight. At least I got the Made in the USA tools.
