Dang. Used to hang out at a mechanic’s garage back in the late 70’s. Every 6 months they’d gather up the broken Craftsman tools and head over to Sears and swap them out for new ones.
I paid $20 for a 100’ Craftsman steel tape and replaced 15 of them over the years on that one purchase.
They blew it failing to embrace the ‘e’ economy. I’m going to miss them out of nostalgia.
As a child my dad dug a Craftsman wrench out of the dirt in a vacant lot.
Sears gladly traded it in for a new one. Nowadays I wouldn’t even want one.
When I lived in San Mateo, CA the Sears was a standalone building next to the mall and had a full automotive service department with maybe 20 service bays.
That was all torn down years ago. Now it’s a Barnes & Noble and Macaroni Grill.
