My father was always a huge supporter of Craftsman tools, I never understood. Most of what I had seen wasn't any better than anyone else, and for the price you were paying there were other brands that were just as good and or better. Sears used to have good mowers and carry some pretty good work clothes, but sadly they are not the Sears my father idolized. I do more business with places like Costco and Home Depot these days, just for selection and the ability to actually find what I need when I need it.
