You guys are probably beyond stuff like the Craftsman Club, but I'm kinda just starting out here. My dad was fond of Craftsman (as well as SK Wayne) tools and my wife used to work at Sears (years ago) and was fond of the workplace atmosphere and the way that Sears treated its customers. So I joined up. Anyway...I belong to the Craftsman Club so that I can get in on the Craftsman Club Days sales. Well... they are only honoring that discount on items that are featured in the sale flyers for in store purchases. All of their internet stuff still fall under the blanket discount, though. Whoopee. I don't know about you guys, but I'm convinced that the retail prices that Sears charges for most Craftsman tools are ridiculous. The sale prices are about the only way I can justify Craftsman tools. If I wanted to pay retail prices, I'd buy SK stuff (which it sounds like I'm gonna start doing) and get better stuff for about the same price. Sears still honors its CC days discount for items over sold over the internet, but there are a LOT of internet tool retailers that have Sears surrounded... and that's not even including ebay!!!! Then there's shipping. You're gonna end up paying the same - if not more - fore Craftsman tools online. DUH! Sorry, but I had to rant. I feel a little cheated by the Sears/K-Mart retail giant. Good thing I found an SK dealer near my in-laws. -Ed
