Simplicity or Craftsman?? Original Message Dec 26, 2011 8:40 pm
A few weeks ago I posted about how impressed I was with Simplicity's new 208cc SS unit, looked well built and much more appealing over the Toro. Anyway long story short I was just looking for some tools at Sears.com and noticed the Craftsman 88782 thou I would probably never buy a craftsman again this thing looks really nice! Anyone have any insight on this machine?

My local Ace Hardware now sells Craftsman hand tools. I stopped using their power tools in the 80's, but the sockets, etc. still seem as good as my old (60's & 70's) ones. They'll outlive me easily.
Who the hell let all the morning people run things?

Believe it or not I use to think the same thing, both Sears's that I frequent said they see more broken sockets that ratchets....While I never had an issue with even one socket they said its an everyday occurance. IDK
