No doubt those are "one time use" parts. The OLD Craftsman stuff was great. Now it's all just junk like everything else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted November 1, 2022 Did you read the warning comes with that die set pic'ed above , never read anything like that before , especially for something like a die nut " Note: Professionals Are Required to Use It. Irrelevant Personnel Are Strictly Prohibited from Approaching During Work. " Sounds like they are going to explode and chunks are going to be flying I think they might chase/ clean up a bad existing thread , but doubt they would hold up to making a new thread on a crankshaft , as the crankshaft is hardened metal 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamtherealJayy 0 Posted November 13, 2022 China special die arrived. Fixed the issue new nut threaded right on. But my squealing issue is still here. I thought it was the one way bearing due to previous owner installed it backwards and I just flipped it for time being but it’s still screaming with the new one. The gasket was also a pain to get installed. Oh and I 100% agree with not returning broken craftsman parts lol. It’s not worth the half hour drive to me to get a lesser tool. Should I create another thread for the squealing? It has it slight in neutral and it’s worse in gear. At a certain rpm it’s noticeably less but as accelerating it’s loud.
