Make sure to do your christma$$ shopping at SEARS. The support all the reservists that work for them. When they are called to active duty, SEARS makes up the difference in the pay that they will lose by being called up. They keep there benefits activie for their families while they are gone. They also still give them their bonuses that they would have recieved if they were still at work.
So if you want to help show other employers how to treat their reservists, shop at sears. So they can continue to support our troops. Make sure you tell a sears employee why you are shopping there. |

............also ask them why half of their goods are made in mexico. whatever happened to made in america?...sears/craftsman used to be one of the best with goods made/a$$. in the states. not anymore, and they have cut back big time on tools that they will return.. on many tools instead of a new tool , they issue a refurbished tool..spend a little more and buy snap-on or cornwell

Ryan, you seem to have alot of anger. I'll try to help. Place the tips of your thumbs on the tips of your middle fingers. Palm facing the sky. Close you eyes. Take a deep breath. Hold.......... I'll get back to you on the release.
Why can't you just let someone have a feel good post? I'll bet if this post was about Snap-on or Cornwell, you would have had a different gripe about them. Take it easy buddy. Merry Christmas. |

I think I'll go buy some new tools for Christmas, I refuse to buy from snap on, i dont mind paying for qaulity i just have a problem of paying way to much.
If i take 20 screwdrivers to sears they hand me 20 brand new ones back, eventually you do use them as chisels |

Eric ,you are spot on with your responce to tools,mine is a mixture ,SnapOn for the swivel head and ratchet wrenches,nut drivers are all Kleins,screwdrivers also a mix,but gotta agree about return policy ,abuse is no excuse. They give me a new chisel/prybar oops thats spelled screwdriver.As far as the minimum wage goes,most of the employees at our Sears store here are OVER PAID @3.00 per hour.Dont take a lot of spark to work at Sears.Just say we dont stock that item ,but you can go to our catalog store via the internet................... Merry Christmas

Did a little research today on timing lights. Craftsman seems to have some pretty decent ones for the $. Better than NAPA.
Show me a store that only sells US made products. |

Its ashame, we keep fueling China and Japans economy and they are living the American dream. we could drop them on thier knees in one month. we simply could boycott buying.
I dont care what anybody says there is something drastically wrong with this economy and not just in this area, when your in business these are the things you do notice, and I notice its harder now then 10 years ago to make a living. hopefully the economy is cycling as it should. just because thier building thier cars here doesnt mean the profits stay here blah blah blah |

...ditto your response Eric. China is drawing on raw materials from the US at an unbelievable rate, thus driving up the cost, which we as business owners must pa$$ on to our fellow Americans in order to stay afloat.

last summer when scrap prices peeked to $300.00 per ton, they had ships off the coast of California loading up heading due west.
all it comes down to is the way we think, My mother just bought a new Honda and I was pissed. I asked her why and she said it was built better, she has that perception brainwashed into her head, most Americans nowadays only keep thier cars for 2 to 3 years, what the hell goes wrong in the first 2 or 3 years??? these guys are offering 100000 10 year warranties like everyone else. Im on the buy American bandwagon this morning, Sure i have bought new foriegn cars in the past but guess what..... from here on out Im wiser to what the heck happens when you let someone sneak in your back door, It has to start somewhere i guess |

I am right with you guys on buying american, don't ever think that will change. If I could find a store that sold products made right here, I would shop there all the time. As most stores continue to look for places willing to maufacture their products for a lesser price to further improve their bottom line. But what most people feel to realize is we did it to ourselves, we(by we I men the general public) kept asking for the same items but at cheaper prices. The only way a store can make money but still offer things at cheaper prices is to make it over seas.
Sorry about the rant, anyway I use snap-on, mac, proto, and craftsman. Just depends on what type of tool to depend on which I buy it from. But screwdrivers are all craftsman, they are close by and never ask how it broke. |

hey ryan "d*ckhead" andrews,
the original post was regarding Sears supporting the reservists and families that work for them, not where their tools are made. Reread the first post, I don't care who you are, that is just cool. |
