What was your first clue?

That Sears has the slightest inkling of what a micrometer is?

Apparently you're unaware that Sears sells micrometers.

Perhaps, or perhaps not. Because Sears sells something doesn't mean they have
the first clue about what it is. ...more likely the opposite.


No kidding. About 25 years ago I needed a rebuild kit for one of
their paint guns. I had the manual that it came with, and was told they
had never made that model. As I was leaving the tool department I found
the kit hanging a few isles from the air tools so I took one back to the
parts counter to show it to them, and was told that they didn't sell
that kit!


Did you look like a Hippie back then, I had a Sears tire guy
discriminate against me back in my Hippie days telling me they didn't
have a tire that he had just told my father they had plenty of. ^_^

TDD
