Default Sears, I'll miss the tools

Yep. I ran across S-K tools about 40 yrs ago at a flea market. Some
of the best tools ever made. I don't know about now, though. Haven't
bought any new tools in yrs. When I do, it's a known quality tool.
Klein, Fluke, Bonney when I can find 'em, Williams, etc.

I'm not above buying a cheapo tool on occassion. I bought two heavy
duty jack stands and a 3 ton floor jack, all made in China, for cheap.
The were better made than similar US made products at 4X the price.
And yes, I have bought items at HF. Depends on the need and use.
