<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1653200, member: 12789"]Sears tools - Craftsman stood for quality. I have a number of power tools that were my grandfathers that he purchased maybe 45-50 years ago that are still soldiering on and still look good. Of course they are heavy - they were made of metal and not this plastic. They were made by American workers and not some overworked and underpaid slave labour in the Far East. Nowadays you can go into Sears and find myriads of junk. They do not even stand behind their hand tools with lifetime warranties anymore. I have a few handtools in my tools that were my great great grandfather's - they are darned near 100 years old and I still USE them. I wanted to collect them and put them on display but I got lectured by my grandfather that tools were made to use. So use the woodplanes and Model T wrenches I still do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
