Does anyone else find it more than just a little bit odd that these ratchets seem to have fallen off the face of the earth? I know they can be had through the mail (at least they are still listed) but our local Sears had one set back in October and no sign of them since.
How strange is it that not a single one, I mean not even one, is listed on Ebay right now ... and no sets either. What would you have bet, 15 months or so ago ( or whenever these finally came out) that there wouldn't be any available on Ebay today. It's Craftsman after all. I would have guessed there'd be, at the very least, dozens of singles and sets in all price ranges. But no, not one.
The first mention of them I can find on GJ is October 2010. Stuey got a set for review and wrote about them in January 2011. It sounded like he got them sent to him "no strings attached" which, to me, translates to a serious effort to promote them by Sears. And now, nothing. Is it possible that people just aren't that intersted? That seems like the least likely answer. Could there be an unspoken boycott? Not likely either.
There is a set, just one, listed in the completed listings, but that's it. What gives?? I'd like to know the true story on that. Short of the true story, I'll settle for expert opinions ... What do you all think?
