Cman pro screwdriver ?

[Vaboom123]

Hey guys,

Was at the local Sears the other day and noticed all the pro screwdrivers were missing on the racks. All I found were a few long cabinet style on clearance. Wasn't sure if this is just a local thing or what? I couldn't find a sales associate to ask what happened. Wasn't sure if I missed something? Haha

They are gone.

 

[oldldh]

I don't this, as an iron clad fact, but...

But, I believe Sears has been clearing out the Professional Screwdrive stock since the late Fall of 2012...

I tried to order the 50 piece set, with the Professional Pliers, and was told---"That set is no longer available..."

So, I bought the Proto Professional Classic Yellow Handle set...

I think they're gone...

Boy you missed that train a long time ago.

Indubitably

 

[chipper]

Gone!!!! Get them at Ace if you have one around

 

[Vaboom123]

Yea I figured they were on the way out. That's a real bummer. Always thought they were a pretty decent screwdriver for the money. shows how long it's been since I've set foot in Sears haha

Dang, so what happens if you need to warranty a pro driver? Those are my main screwdriver set.

Me too and I have a big set...maybe online somehow

You'll get a gift card for the cost of replacement.

You can still buy them on the website. the 16pc and the 25pc sets still pop up from time to time. But they tend to go out of stock quickly.

My store has had them oon clearance forever for 4 and 9 cents off. Its ridiculous. Finally marked the torx pros at 50% off but only the singles. Set is full price.

If you don't mind them being green and black, SK sells the exact same set labeled "CushionGrip"

I found a torx set on clearance a few months ago and just pieced together a pretty decent set with singles on the sears website last week.

I had a feeling I thought those were the same and the armstrongs also.

Yep train left station a while back.

I'd been on the fence a while and when they started disappearing I decided to get sk green. I'd rather had craftsman and could have still picked up a few but being discontinued dampened my enthusiasm. I did get a craftsman pro pick set with the same handles.

The local stores never reduced price. Just out them I clearance sections. All they had were singles and no sets.

My store told me they would warranty out the pro for a standard handle craftsman screwdriver.

Dang, so what happens if you need to warranty a pro driver? Those are my main screwdriver set.

Husky (home depot) did the same with the cushion grips (craftsman also sells these I think) so maybe it's a mfg issue with those. As for the pro they were probably discontinued but probably won't be replaced with import stuff; might actually replace with other "pro" stuff which they already sell but less prevalent like those wiha insulated drivers. Not necessarily a bad thing unless they replace it with low end import (which doesn't make sense because they didn't discontinue the crystal handles) so they might start stocking some wiha and wera (hopefully). Would like to see some other brands at mass retail for once we don't have a ton of independent sources here.

Someone posted recently that they took a CMAN pro screwdriver in to warranty and the clerk gave him a sears gift card for the value of it since they dont have replacements.

Sears is doing away with high quality. Soon there will be pro nothing

My local store brought in more cheap Stanley screwdriver sets when the pros were gone.

Well this stinks. Just about every one of my good screwdrivers is a craftsman premium and I have about 30 or so.

I guess that is why my local sears had them on clearance about a year ago. At least I scored quite a few for not terribly expensive.
