Dear KCD Brands,

I don't know who you are, but although I am a lifetime user and a collector of vintage Craftsman tools, I no longer purchase new ones. I have no interest in your photo gathering project. Offshore outsourcing has degraded the brand.  I occasionally buy Asian made tools, but nothing that has a cutting edge or is made of tool steel. There is no Chinese ANSI, ASQC, SAE or any of the other groups that maintain standards for manufacturing. They may improve in the next ten or twenty years, but for now, I hve no faith in offshore quality. Please take me off of your list.

Polite, to the point,,,,,and well said. Good for you.

+1.

They have been pushing this on face book also, the comments are funny...

"will do, after finishing my brake line, then replacing the connecting rod that broke off the piston on my craftsman pressure washer..."

Another happy camper ;P

(applause smiley here)  good reply john

Very well said.

Think they'd publish a picture of my a$$ which Sears & Crapsman can both kiss?

The Sears division of Kfart holds a very special place in my heart.

yeah,  "V-Series"  is like a foreign language to Sears these days.....
