Holy moly... are any of you on the FB group "Ford Small Block Windsor Group"? A couple guys posted pics of their mangled oil pump drive shafts... Makes me want to get something more heavy duty for mine.
I noticed that the Husky tap and die sets have a lifetime warranty on them. So... that's a killer deal for me. I ordered a set last night. I've been using HF tap/die sets for far too long. They do alright as thread chasers, but I don't trust them much for cutting into new metal.
I like the "no questions asked" lifetime warranty on it. The Husky warranty has been good to me.
I remember the old Craftsman lifetime warranty. My grandfather was a Sears Hardware manager from the time he returned from WWII until 1981 or so. He'd roll over in his grave if he knew how Craftsman tools were today. I have a bunch of his old Craftsman stuff ranging from the 50's to the early 80's. I have a few Husky tools and like them but, nothing compares to the hand tools of yesteryear.
I think I told you guys about the Husky ratcheting wrenches, and the bit set, right? I broke my T50 torx, and my 17mm ratcheting wrench was stripped inside. The manager told me to go get the rest of the sets, and he would give me a brand new set in exchange. So I got both of these sets "renewed" because one tool broke. I admit... the torx bit broke with my impact.
