Craftsman sold to Stanley - Dr Stan - 01-07-2017
Most have probably already heard about this. I just hope Craftsman is restored to its previous status.

The local Sears closed well over a year ago and one of the two Kmarts began its liquidation sale yesterday. I will not be looking at Craftsman tools, but for store fixtures to use as storage in the shop.

It sounds like it is the lawn and garden an snowblower, not the hand tool or power tools. Therefore I do not anticipate the line of tools hand returning to their former quality.
