What are they thinking? Amazing... I'm considering rounding up all their
stuff I own and outright dumping it... just to be disassociated of the
brand.

I hope this campaign 'blows over' quickly... I dread friends/family
asking if I use their products.

Sears must have discovered a new target group for its products: people
who don=92t care about how they look, where they live, or how they treat
their belongings. I wonder how much disposable income they have and
how much Sears=92 tool sales will increase? Maybe Sears doesn=92t care
about that either.

I'm not going to waste time looking at ads, but if you are going to dump
all your tools to be disassociated with the brand, ship all the hand
tools here, especially if they are old enough to be not made in China.
Then maybe you can replace them with new Snap-ons at 10X the price that
are made in China, I don't really care. Perhaps you watch a little bit
too much TV...when you should be using tools.

There has been discussion lately that some items are no longer stamped
that way on the tool - which surely means they soon won't be, if they
even still are. But the price won't come down, you can bet on that.

Sure they claim this stuff is only for asia-pacific market - do you
remotely believe it will stay that way?

Seems they have been at it for a couple of years:

Quoted from the above link (April, 2008)

> hand tool manufacturer in China," said Pinchuk. "This strategic joint venture

> ownership of Wanda Tools, our first hand tool manufacturing facility in
> China, is expected to be a key contributor to our future state and is another
> important step in extending Snap-on's manufacturing capability and market
> coverage in emerging markets around the world."
