While in K-mart yesterday, I wandered past their tool section. A whole aisle of "Benchtop" brand tools. Funny thing was, they looked a lot like Craftsman. The wrench sets were in the same type of pla

I wasn't advocating buying the K-mart brand tools. Just commenting that they and some were packaged like the Craftsman. You'll find the 95% of my tools are Craftsman (collected over the last 30+ year
