    US General 56” What Color?

    Re: Update | US General 56” What Color? Yeah I was waffling between going to home depot this weekend for a husky box or waiting a bit longer to get a us general one, and this has me pretty convinced I want to go with the husky Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Ever wonder if the lifetime warranty on Craftsman killed Sears? Here we go again!

    "complicated maze" also to my experience accurately describes the floor layout plan of a kohls. Looking for a size small shirt? Good luck! It's just a jumble of sizes and styles out there! Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Rural King: the Walmart of farm stores. We don't like rural king as much as we liked our old farm store, but unfortunately when it comes time to pay for the feed, Rural King is open when we're off work and has prices that are hard to say no to. You know. Just like how we don't like Walmart as...

    That's how my dad is. He was furious when I sent my set of craftsman tools I got in high school with my girlfriend because I live an hour away from anywhere I could do a warranty. He absolutely went on a tirade about how craftsman were industrial quality tools and that you would never need to...

    Sears failed to adapt, and the times they adapted they did it wrong. They became the world's largest retailer by having low prices, quality products, and good service. In the sixties, the big box discount retailer came along offering many of the same goods for cheaper due to lower logistical and...

    Socket selection

    My thoughts on husky tools are complicated. I have a bunch of them. I hate all of them. I'm probably going to buy more in the future. As physical items in your hands, they seem really cheap and not good. Add to that how much they cost and they don't seem like a good value at all. But! If one of...

    SK vs Snap-on vs GW

    That last part is the part that I'm the most curious about. How much is that price inflated for early adopters and people who don't know any better the price range that GearWrench should sell at? I'm gonna keep my eye on Zoro.com Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    SK vs Snap-on vs GW

    Fair enough. My current next purchase is a used wright ratchet or a new set of Williams sockets, so I guess I'm just as leery of foreign tools as anyone else, but when I look at the knife industry, I see that the manufacturing power of the overseas machinists and heat treaters are just as good...

    No more Sears in my area.

    Tools are warrantied for the lifetime of the original purchaser. Packaging they came in are warrantied for however long it takes the package to leave sears' store or warehouse. Such is how it's always been. I don't know how much better you'll do returning this set in favor of another set with...
