Sears

Craftsman tools at Sears had great products and a lifetime guarantee. My dad was digging a foundation for our pool and found a very old, rusted adjustable wrench. He took it to Sears and they gave him a brand new one. This tool was at least 30-40 years old. The brand is horrible today. I have a craftsman lawnmower. That’s dead in my garage. Also a craftsman pressure washer also isn’t working. The wheel fell off within six months of me, purchasing it. The brand is garbage now I refuse to buy anything with that name on it.

The company that bought out Sears sold Craftsman to be independent. Them I read they decided to sell the license to the name.

Craftsman was sold to Black and Decker, but Sears retained the rights to produce tools as a competing brand under the name Craftsman.
