    Sears and SBD already in fight over Craftsman

    Same thing at Menards with the Masterforce sockets. They were all made in the USA and they cleared them out for made in Mao. Yet they have a 10" prybar and 9" masterforce trim removal piece that look just like their Vaughan counterparts. I think Stanley should be patient as Eddie will ****...

    Sears and SBD already in fight over Craftsman

    Stanley was hoping that Sears aka the Michael Myers of retail would finally die. They should not worry as busta Rhymes will do like he did in part 8 and it will all be over soon enough. That being said the roll out at my Lowes (Chicago area) of Craftsman has been like molasses in January...
