Maybe they just don't care about Milwaukee/Dewalt and want to offer mid-priced cordless power tools, the types that are available literally everywhere else, on the Internet. :dunno: The "Greenworks" brand is available everywhere, so easy for Walmart to offer this brand, just like they do with...

Well, there's two sets sold, likely at a price cut down to compete with foreign competition. :headscrat Maybe I'm out of touch with reality. :dunno: This is a 100 year old company, that help supplied tools when America - during wartime, built 2700 Liberty cargo ships in 4 years. that was just...

Well, they probably don't contain bull pizzle any more. That's now made into high dollar dog chew treats...

If you don't have an HF nearby, Walmart is the best inexpensive tool game in town.

You ask a queston, that you already know the answer. You a Lawyer, by chance?

I haven’t been informed either, but since they are out of business, I’ll tos out a couple of guesses Diminished domestic demand and increased foreign competition is probably a good start .

Mine isnt difficult to find is stuck, unused to the side of the toolbox

Always bad management. What would they have done different that would keep them successful today? :rolleyes2 At one time, America had a gigantic manufacturing base, that all used hex keys, to fix or build something - gone! The weekend duffers grab the ones from HF. Where is (was) their market?

Any real, factual figures to back up on what looks to be a rather dubious claim? :dunno: Besides it's not just one central organization. The local stores seem to have about a half dozen employees, on any given day. None of them look like CEOs. HFH is a great organization as well, , but it's...

Goodwill shoppers are literally like vultures around here. They hang out - waiting for the girl to come of the back room, pushing a cart of newly arrived goods. half o it never make it to the shelves or racks.

Maybe a wood stove? 😁

Not a bad idea having a magnetic base, but "1/4" steel" seem a bit overkill. :headscrat Get a free mag base parts holder from HF, mount to box made from formed sheet metal. ? Edit: didn't notice it was held on by adhesive tape. How long is that supposed to last?

Wonder if making products that literally last forever, was a key reason many old-school companies have waddled off towards the sunset. :headscrat

New Snap On ratchets no good? :dunno: The newest one I own was made and purchased by me 50 years ago.

The OP went up the local chain to the store manager who all said no. Sounds more like an “unwritten” policy change than a conspiracy of ingnorance. :dunno: Otherwise, their bonus probably likely doesn’t depend on it so why should they even give a ****? Give the customer a replacement tool and...
