Gotta read the last sentence slowly or it goes right by !!!!!!!
I would use care in knocking any of our old products. If somebody
doesn't save at least one, a bit of history is gone forever.
I note we have some who like to knock Craftsman. They reveal their
inexperienced youth. In the early days if you lived on a farm in the
midwest you simply had no source of tools other than Sears or
Montgomery Wards and regardless of the quality you got them to work. -
Furthermore their pricing policy forced many manufactures into
producing quality at a affordable price. Had they not done that
tools for the average person would still be unaffordable.
