THE ROCK FATHER has partnered with Sears as a paid member of the Craftsman Crew.
No matter how well the preparation has gone, the Holiday Season has not just “crept-up” on us, but has emerged swiftly and with unusual force this year. It’s somewhat hard to get a grip on all the moving parts that go with a successful and stress-free season these days (14 variations on Thanksgiving, 79 versions of Xmas – you know how it is), but when it comes to gifting, I’m pretty good at picking what works, hence my annual Holiday Wish Guide. For me, this is a time for fixing up the place – but even more so, being ready for toys… specifically, always being ready to open the battery compartments on toys. Since just about everything takes batteries at this point (even things you wouldn’t expect), I’ve encountered some tricky spots – spots where some good grip comes in handy. With the new Craftsman Extreme GRIP Lineup of tools, I’m well taken care of – and that’s why I’m including them in my 2015 Holiday Wish Guide. There’s an Extreme GRIP tool for just about any application, and they’re on-sale right now! A great gift idea, and a great asset to any toolbox – the perfect ally in the battle against rounded, stripped or just hard-to-grip fasteners. Check out some Rock Father picks below, then enter to win a Craftsman Extreme GRIP 6-Piece Diamond Tip Screwdriver Set!
THE ROCK FATHER’s Craftsman Extreme GRIP Picks:
Craftsman 40-Piece Extreme Grip Mechanics Tool Set
The 3/8-Inch drive set includes a family of tools designed to fit both inch and metric fasteners, even when rounded. The sturdy case with rubberized base and handle make it handy in any work environment. Diamond coated tips reduce cam-out slippage on fasteners and allow for removal of stripped screws. The sockets have serrated jaws and provide up to 14x more gripping power on rounded fasteners (compared to Craftsman 43005). Locking cam on box end provides positive gripping that holds multiple fastener sizes in place. The bit driver has true, one-handed operation versus a magnetic tip screwdriver. Magnetic collar gives 143x more gripping power vs. a standard bit driver. Three position ratcheting mechanism provides smooth operation.
Craftsman Extreme Grip 5-Piece Socket Set
The Craftsman® Extreme GRIP™ 5-piece socket set features a gripping action which allows you to grip rounded fasteners up to 14-times better than a standard Craftsman socket.
