Yet every 3rd garage in North America has Craftsman tools

In Canada we have Mastercraft tools.

Sold by our lovingly pet named Crappy Tire stores (Canadian Tire)

That’s a friendlier name than I usually hear

Do tell.

Crappy tire is what my dad used to call it.

He also called McDonald’s ‘choke n puke’.

I still have Craftsman tools I bought in the '80s, and some I inherited from my Dad. My only complaint is whatever they made some of the old screwdriver handles out of has degraded ever-so-slightly and off-gassed something that makes my toolbox smell like somebody puked in it. No idea what’s up with that…

Man, I’ve smelled tool boxes with that vomit smell and always wondered wtf that was. The most recent one was one my ex inherited from her grandfather. We could not get the smell out.

Mastercraft has similar quality. Some great stuff for the average joe

Great, I always wondered if a dog or kid hit my toolbox at some point and how it keeps smelling after decades

Tbf, Craftsman is owned by Stanley Black and Decker (though only since 2017)

Also funny to point out Sears and Kmart as not adapting to the times since they merged in 2005 (like a dinosaur merging with a Neanderthal…)
