Simply put, what are you working on this weekend? In particular, what Craftsman tools if any are you gonna use to get it done? This post (that drops every Friday) is your time to shine.

Did you accomplish something, and you didn't tell us in time? No worries--hop in during the weekend (or whenever) and tell us how it turned out and what you did, just the same. Pictures, descriptions...whatever it takes to share your glory!

7 Upvotes

This weekly thread is for you to brag about how you improved or upgraded your Craftsman brand tools, accessories, and other gear.

  • Did you 3D print some custom bins or attachments for your tool storage system or powertool?

  • Did you make some custom gear or clothing, or "do a thing" with the Craftsman brand as a focus?

  • Did you change a vehicle to accomodate your tools and accessories?

  • Did you make a custom wall holder/foam cutout for your Craftsman stuff?

  • Did you do anything else to take your overall Craftsman experience from "mild" to "wild"?

Talk about it, here! Pictures of the upgrade are a plus!

New Tool Day / Renewed Tool Day How it started, how it's going.

My wife and I bought a house last May, and it feels so good to finally have a garage that I get to call my own. My love for craftsman tools started when I was a kid, using my dads tools (which were handed down to me).

This week, I finally upgraded my multiple smaller tool chest to the Craftsman 2000 series chest, and man is it a good feeling.

While I'll probably get rid of the older ones, I plan on keeping the one my dad gave me. Such a good feeling!

About 2 months ago, I was also able to find the storage cabinets off of Facebook marketplace place for an absolute steal of a deal... all 4 for $400.

I recently came into possession of my father's tool box,1948 Craftsman Deluxe roller cabinet and tool chest. Inside were 2 older ratchets, a BE and a circle H, that I'm wanting to restore. I've started with disassembling and cleaning the BE. I noticed that the some of the gear teeth are rolled over or chipped. Does anyone one happen to know where I may be able to possibly source a replacement gear?

Question/Original Post When is this sander from?

I was using this power sander and it tripped my circuit breaker. It’s VERY heavy.

It’s my dad’s and we were joking about it being from the Eisenhower administration. But now I’m wondering, how old do you think it actually is?

The picture was taken outside because it was sparking and I was afeared.

DEAL ALERT! Craftsman Buy/Sell Friday--your weekly bazarr

Got something Craftsman (or Craftsman-related) you're wanting to get off your hands? This is the post for you. Will appear every Friday.

  • ONLY on Fridays, and ONLY in this post. Don't post sales in new/different posts, nor create sales threads in other conversations--they'll get removed.

  • BE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SELLING: Make (Craftsman, obviously), model (the number), proper name of the tools, any particulars about it (age, length of use, specs, accessories included, cost (of course), and shipping options (where, and how much that would cost).

  • Neither Reddit nor the moderators make any guarantees about the items offered, nor the sellers themselves. Caveat Emptor.

Let's try this, and hope it doesn't turn into a real crap-show.

Question/Original Post YT3000 Bagger Compatability

2 Upvotes

So I bought a YT3000 in 2013. Some years later we moved to a new house, and the lawn there gets absolutely pummeled with leaves every fall. We tried clearing ourselves the first year and it was awful. We've hired someone to clear the leaves every fall, but that's expensive. We didn't want to buy a bagger for our tractor because we were sure it'd die out at some point. Thirteen years later and the thing is still kicking.

Question here is, say we buy a bagger now for our 13 year old YT3000, and then it finally dies next season, would we be able to use the same bagger on a new Craftsman tractor? Would hate to spend the money on a bagger and then not be able to use it long term.

Help! Keep Craftsman C3 tools or replace

5 Upvotes

Hello, I have a variety of C3 power tools that are still on good working order. They get used every once in a while for various DIY projects/hobbies. Im considering slowly upgrading to craftsman V20 or something else. Due to a need for a router and orbital saner and want a shared battery family. Would it be worth it or should I just keep my C3 tools and get an adapter?

Help! Craftsman T110 mower not starting

3 Upvotes

I bought my T110 in 2024 and it has worked amazingly until last weekend. It started to sputter on me and I figured I was running out of gas, so turned it off, filled the tank and when I tried to start her again…nothing. Not even a click from the starter. Easy fix I thought, and bought a new battery.
With the new battery in, I hear the ignition switch click, and then just a whirring sound like something spinning but not catching. The engine isn’t turning ver and I am not hearing the starter click at all.

Did my starter also fail on me? I did get a 3-year protection plan when I purchased this mower, but if it’s a relatively easy fix I’d rather just do it instead of filing a claim. Any ideas out there on this one?

Wanted a vehicle repair to go setup.

Snagged the 230pc for $99 and added some extras to round out with swivels, extensions, Torx and some USA spark plug sockets that were floating in my larger roller cab.

Add the 2 drawer versastack for stuff that I run to the garage and back when working on brakes.

Thinking of adding some of $19 raised panel metric wrenches and impact 1/2 shallows deeps and extensions on a new single drawer Versastak with my Dewalt 1/2 impact wrench.

Any ideas?

Has anyone successfully customized a Craftsman Versastack 30-Gallon Rolling Tool Chest (CMST17870) for packing clothes? I'm looking for official accessories or DIY layer-divider ideas to replace traditional luggage.

Went through around 1300$ worth of suitcases in the last 7 years and was hoping to convert a Craftsman into a more durable solution.
