Remember these "classics"?
« on: August 13, 2018, 06:36:03 PM »
Here's why I like 'em. The offset is perfect for loosening tight fasteners without cracking your knuckles or your hand wide open. The feel is truly comfortable, and the fit/finish is perfect (as is the case with all Craftsman Pro wrenches).

I almost went for a set of those Cross-Beam wrenches, only backing out as I had limited funds then and I was hell bent on completing my Bonney sets.

GF,

Good thread. 

Quick question-- when did you buy your Crafty Cross Force combos?
When my wife leaves me, my dog dies, and they repossess my home, I'll still have my tools.

GF,

Thank you for the purchase date info.  I got the rest of the information I needed from you excellent photos  :-\

These Crafty Pro Cross Force Combos are indeed nice wrenches.  I've seen them and handled them many times at my local dirt market.  But alas, I need another set of combos like I need another hole in my head  ;D

I think my buddy Pete had something to do with those wrenches design wise.  I know he gave my neighbor with a body shop  some to test out.

Fat's,

Ask your buddy Pete to check out the GG;  I suspect he might like it and I suspect he might have some cool knowledge to share.

Just a thought.... C:-)
