Just Got a Little Craftsman Bundle

[wilpetty]

3 ton Jack, Jackstands, and a creeper. Read the reviews and the creeper is not too high quality, but I wont use it very much. For 109.99 I think it is a good deal that will let me do alot of things at my dad's house rather than having to take it to my brothers...

Good deal? I like craftsman, my grandfather had it so I will proceed to go by the same tools, even though they are making some things in china...

They're not great, but they're not Harbor Freight either. They'll be good enough for what you are doing.

Im impressed about how sturdy the jack it...Very nice in my standards. The rest of the stuff is about mid grade quality and yeah...I'm a full time and a half college student who wants to learn how to work on his rig

ive had the same set for about 2 years, jack and jack stands are excellent, havent given me any trouble and ive used them quite a bit. The creeper is garbage, after a few uses it broke at the welds and the wheels started locking up, and that was with me on it, 6ft 180lbs, but still 110 bucks for a jack and stands is pretty good!

Looks like a good deal to me! I know Craftsman doesn't have the highest reputation among full time wrenchs, but if you're only maintaining your own vehicles and not wrenching for a living, they work just fine. That's what I do, most of my tools are Craftsman, and I've never had an issue. For my level of use I can't justify the price of Snap On or any comparable brand.

I have a craftsman creeper and I have had it almost ten years now. Looks the same as that one. I beat the crap out of it. I have used it to move transmissions and pretty much anything else heavy I have ever worked on except an engine. Of course, saying this, it will break tomorrow.

I prefer the craftsman jack with the big yellow cup on the front. I have two of those. One piston went out, but they exchanged it. I find them to be much safer and more stable, but I think I paid over $100 each for them.

I did a full frame off on my 1972 Corvette with that set (plus two additional stands).
Jack could have a higher throw, but other than that no complaints!

I had that set.

I repurposed the creeper wheels for a rolly-table.
Made the creeper pads, into a chair for garage companions.
The jack and stands are good quality.

This is a complete side note,
But that Harbor Freight 3-Ton Jack, is the sh*t...

I resealed mine, and cleaned up the valves a little.
It hasn't given me ANY trouble in 3 years and I beat the hell out of my stuff.

 

[wilpetty]

Yeah I look foward to the stands and the jack, but the creeper wont get much use for other than the stang because it sits so low

Sorry that made no sense...I was buzzin
