  16. What tools did you buy today?

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    There are a few decent Metabolism, Delta and sunex ones on clearance at CPO. I'm thinking about picking one up myself and fabricobbleing some lockable covers for the wheels so it can't be used. If IG taught me anything, it's that now that I have access to a tig machine, I have to be a dick about not letting people use my tungsten grinder.


    I want to triple like that. Lol

  17. SBD buys Craftsman from Sears

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    I can't see Lowe's or HD putting Craftsman on their shelves, but who knows. It will certainly be interesting to see. 

     

    WIth so much emphasis on American manufacturing in the press releases and stuff, SBD is poised to do what Sears should have done by making Craftsman back into the icon it was, a quality mid-range tool people feel comfortable buying. 

     

    If it plays out that way, Wal-Mart would be the perfect solution. A whole section of quality tools, with warranty exchange, at a store with the market presence of Wal-Mart? I'm excited to see what plays out. 


    Man I couldn't imagine going to Walmart and waiting in line for 20 minutes to exchange my broken ratchet, only to get the privilege of arguing with workers about it having a lifetime warranty assuming they keep that.

  18. A Message For All.....

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    Thanks guys, I'm going to try to go tomorrow to the shelter to find a friend. I've had maybe three months total of my life without a dog so I just can't do it anymore. I'll never be able to replace him but hopefully a new friend will distract me.


    All 3 of my current dogs are rescues. It is a hard place to visit.

  19. New tool releases from Milwaukee

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    I've taken to losing and breaking clearances hi vis Stanley tapes, I had five in my door and am down to two without breaking any. I wonder how these will compare for triple the cost.


    I have had a hard time with tapes too. They just don't seem to be built that well anymore unless you pony up a ton of cash for like a fat max

  21. SBD buys Craftsman from Sears

    I think it will go 1 of 2 ways. Craftsman gets watered down and sold everywhere, milking as much money out of the brand until everyone stops buying or they will allow to brand to become what it once was and be a premium brand in home improvement stores. It should make for some interesting conversation on here
