It's a special line of Craftsman, where a single 1/2 ratchet costs $80 instead

I buy batteries from Auto Zone. They seem to be fine without any hassles.

look it up on their computer so if you bought it 2000 miles away NP.

I buy Snap On for anything I use regularly that's less than 1-1/2.
Snap On 5-27 mm just fits better, better ratchets, and eBay has a steady
supply of Snap On tools. What's the cost of bloody knuckles because the
Craftsman 27 mm keeps falling off the crank damper?

You have to get Craftsman industrial tools if you want good quality Craftsman
tools. Grainger carries them.

I took the old battery out of the boy's (to be the girl's) SD and took
it to Interstate to swap it, as it was getting a bit weak and not
holding a charge. It was an 85 and turned out to be from June 2007
(71 months). So I ask the guy there if that meant I got some credit on
a new one. He

the correct change, then got pissed off, went inside and got $5 and walked

Indeed. But in what form did Toni hand the cashier $55?
I think part of the problem is the franchisee you went to. they make
up their own rules. the local one takes 3 people, 2 computers and
15-20 minutes to print an invoice to a pack of AA batteries.

This was an Interstate, thought I could get some credito on it.
Last time I dealt with Sears, I took a dead battery in, the guy said he
would have to put it on their machine to test it, which would take like
an hour or more. I told him the thing was like 4 years old, would not

The premium line of Cman ratchets are excellent and USA made but quite

According to reviews, this Cman ratchet is as good as Snap On. I have both the

I expect that you'll want a group 49 battery - the more expensive
Wal-Mart battery looks VERY attractive.
The Walmart battery book does list MB diesels, however the group 49
battery is rarely stocked, and some Walmarts don't want to order them
because they have to order them in lots and don't have the storage
for the extras. This has been my experience, anyway, and I'm sure
