By the way, I have an off-topic question for the Americans. Out of
curiousity, is the Sears where you buy your economy tools the same

company

which owns the Sears Tower in Chicago?

Chris


The same Sears built and occupied the Sears Tower originally, but they

don't

own it anymore...Not sure who does.

PS. What the hell did they do with Roebuck ????


Roebuck is part of the Buck-Hickman group, now owned by Premier Farnell

Ah, that would be why Farnell sell so much Roebuck stuff. Unfortunately
I can't recommend it! Those wire cup brushes I had fall apart after a
few minutes were one unsatisfactory Roebuck product.
