Funny Line on Sears Site:
"Since nuts and bolts are made in more than 30 standard or metric sizes, having a large set of ratchet sockets will ensure you've got the tool for each turn. Affordable sets from SK Tools and Wright Tool are useful for occasional repairs at home or in the garage. A quality set from Craftsman, Sunex or GearWrench will have the durability and performance you want at work."

Because SK and Wright are lower quality than Craftsman...:tard:

I think their foreign computer techs must have written that.

Yea, it was probably outsourced to a marketing firm in China.

Assume you know nothing about tools:
Would you pay the price they ask for SK and Wright if only used occasionally at home?

Did you catch the part about having the right socket for every turn? I have been doing it wrong all these years and using the same socket for all the turns. Who knew?

Which set says that? Clicked s couple didn't see it.

Citing Wright and SK tells me they've specifically identified those two companies as stealing customers during the craftsman downfall and are trying to fight back with specific...basically slander.

Or, seriously they got those two names from GJ and all the love they get here while cman is always dumped on. If it wasn't for garage journal do you think they would pick those two brands? And such an idiotic statement as well.

It was written by a computer based on SEO keywords.

Walmart and Sears are among the worst offenders at this search engine spam **** -- absolutely any product you search for, you'll somehow end up on their sites, even if they don't actually sell it.

Slander? really that's a much more specific claim, than marketingpuffery.

That drives me freakin nuts. Add Target to the list. How about the sellers of the product you are looking for that are nothing but links to Amazon

Aaaand that's why I have never enabled googleanalytics or googleadservices in NoScript, so I don't ever have to see "search engine spam ****". I remain a blank slate to Google and likewise the likes of Facebook and Twitter will never see me either.

The wording on the linked Sears page is really strange.

I should have known when I threw the S word out there. I was being sarcastic but since the train has left the station here ya go...anyone who knows about tools I'd say it fits the bill

yer citing British law? The burden is on you to prove damages if any. Good luck on that quest! Just laugh it off with the rest of us.
