We only have three or so Sears stores remaining In the Phoenix area. In
my shop you can look in any direction or open almost any drawer and find a
Craftsman machine or tool, and occasionally I'll be wearing a shirt with a
Craftsman tag on it.
Just this past Tuesday I came across a 1950s vintage Craftsman 1/2 HP
shaper for just $35. It was the type with the cast iron top with the
rectangular holes, which was considered to be an accident waiting to happen. I
would have bought it but I have a much nicer one from Grizzly.
