But the structure and quality of materials was very good.

And insulation wasn't that necessary either with the price of heating coal or oil being very cheap.Detroit wrote:Insulation wasn't really a huge thing back then... Technology just wasn't there.Acid666 wrote:

My grandmother managed the ladies dept at her local Sears for 20 years. Then got her 30 by working 10 behind the candy counter. Every Sunday she made me and my cousins up bags of candy assortments to take home with us. I have judged every candy experience ever after off those succulent bags of childhood goodness.
The Sears Catalog was a marvel in the 70s ....Three inches thick and prob almost 5 lbs with what seemed like a thousand pages of full-color items.
The toy section was prepubescent wet dream.....

It was like holding the Amazon of the day in your hands.

Three years later and Craftsman is still made in China and replaced Kobalt at Lowe's at a higher price.
Even better is that the Lowe's stores won't even warranty an item. They tell you to call Craftsman directly, which is a ballsy move considering that just about every other store nowadays offers free replacement on the spot.

The Lowe's by me has Craftsman and Kobalt tools still, and the Kobalt tools are cheaper and better quality, especially if you find any Taiwanese Kobalt tools. I've given up on Lowe's and go to Home Depot now, and you can actually find a decent amount of US-made tools at Home Depot, some even under the Husky brand. For most of my hand tools, I will either order online or go to Napa. Their Carlyle brand is very decent. The wrenches and sockets have a lot of features that the tool truck brands have with out the anal pricing.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 10:36 amI’m surprised they dumped their own house brand Kobalt for Craftsman.Huckleberry wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 12:11 pm Three years later and Craftsman is still made in China and replaced Kobalt at Lowe's at a higher price.

I was wondering why it was so tough to find Kobalt tools lately.
