- I saw the Craftsman tools this weekend. WHAT A BUNCH OF GARBAGE!!!! I could NOT believe how cheap they now are! Little plastic tab to switch direction and if you did PUSH it in until it locked, it ju

- Yeah, kinda funny when the display ratchet is broken. I think the solution to plastic parts is to run quickly to Sears and buy some ratchet repair kits. They cost 1 cent apiece. Yep, 100 for a dollar

- Good luck trying to communicate with Sears. I have twice had problems with their NTB subsidiary. Nowhere was there any way to escalate a problem past the store manager. Not even a mailing address. Th

- Uncle Jack wrote about his company, John Deere. Uncle Jack, I'm curious about your racecar choice of Triumphs with those Ferguson tractor motors . . . I'd think a John Deere man would want to have an

- Now I'm not saying I agree with this from a tool quality and use standpoint but look at it from an economic one. Most people (I'm including myself in this group) really don't use many of their tools

- Uncle Jack, you are to be commended for your idealism in this day and age of cynicism and the resignation of many consumers to crappy products. I'm not being a smart-ass, either - I mean it. Unfortun
