Fuck Sears and fuck Crapsman. To some guys, tools are just toys or a means to getting something fixed. They are more than that to me. Call me a sentimental idiot (but don't call me Shirley), I was a motor head in high school and my parents gave me a set of American-made Craftsman sockets and wrenches that I still have and use today. That was 35 years ago.
A few years back, I went to Sears to buy my son his set of tools, like my parents had me. All of the sockets, ratchets and wrenches were either chinese or taiwanese. I was about to walk out, when the cashier said wait, he had one box left that was still American made, that had been buried under a bunch of chinese crap. The box looked beat up, but otherwise was intact. I grabbed it. After that, I was done with crapsman.
I have some of my Dad's and Grandad's tools now, since both have passed away. They mean the world to me. I will pass all of mine on to my son, when I punch out of this world. I tried to instill in my kids that THIS country comes first, and that the economic choices they make, no matter how small, add up. They both look for American made items first and that makes me proud of them.
