OT: Sears Parts Coupon

These guys are good too.

They got me the LPconversion kit for my dryer. Earle

Anyone is a better source than Sears repair parts!

I have ordered washing machine parts and stove/oven parts from

. The prices were more reasonable (stillexpensive) than my local appliance repair parts store and they arrivedwithin a couple of days of the order. I also would recommend them. Tom

Actually I respectfully disagree. Going through the website, looking at the exploded diagrams, even calling them up when I could not see one part all worked out really well for me as I just replaced my belt and rear bearing on the dryer, the knob on the washer, and some refrigerator parts over the last

2 weeks. Then it came in the mail fast enough. No problem here.... Tomes

Tomes did pass the time by typing:

I used them for parts to fix the garage door opener and fridge, but on the phone the sales critter was trying to push other crap I didn't want to buy. That wasn't winning my appreciation. Next time it's on-line only.

Yeah, I did get that pitch to buy a coil cleaning brush for the fridge. I just noped my way through that. Tomes

It works for most people until they figure out Johnstone has the same parts for 2/3 the price and the service is better.

Buy Snap-On, MAC, or Stahlwille (the strongest, not as pretty) and cry once.

You can rebuild Craftsman too, just depends on the guy behind the counter. _____________________________________________________________________

I don't want my good ratchets exchanged. I want them repaired. The old ones are better made, better looking, and I'm attached to them. Some even have collector value, I save the old pieces. I have many old Craftsman tools and the old ones are as well made as the Snap-Ons at the time, that is no longer the case. I take the tool in and ask for the kit and swap them out myself. You have to dismantle the new ones anyway because the factory grease gets raunchy . I douche them out with mineral spirits or whatever is in use at the parts cleaner, then clean with tuner cleaner, then after careful drying put on Phillips 66 helicopter grease. It's a blue-green and costs $400 for a five gallon pail. I'm very fussy I suppose but everyone needs a hobby.

that's what 3/4" drive is for ! (bit of a slow download sorry)

Has anyone actually ever used that big Craftsman metal capped screwdriver for actual driving or undriving of a screw? Sears used to have a hall of shame of photos of the most badly beaten up ones returned for warranty.

I keep hinting for a nice set of those geezer sockets with the nice big markings on them... oh well at least the hint for the nice torque wrench paid off.
