Speaking of Craftsman Tools....

Of all the tools I lost, I miss my sly slip-joint pliers the most.It was my fall-back-do-almost-anything tool.So I'm in Sears with my gift cards and look for it.This looks to be the same jaw and handle type.I especially like the teeth setup. thing is there's no rivet/nut holding it together.Looks like the side-cutter lineman's setup.Didn't handle it at all because I walked away from it looking for the"original," and then we had to leave.This is all I see on-line and it looks like my old pliers are gone.Anybody use this slip-joint setup?Seems a slip-joint shouldn't be tight and have to be oiled.I don't know the technical term for the way this is held together.--Vic

I have seen tools with the craftsman name at flea market. Bought a pair that look like these very cheap. Must be some secondary source.

Yes, it depends. Here they're definitely in the utility class. In most of E TN they were/would have been large.
