Craftsman was the only thing Sears had going for them. I think they are throwing in the towel. They use to make quality mowers when roper was making them. Now there just crap. I had a roper that lasted 28 years. I bought a almost new craftsman and it's been nothing but a pain.

The last craftsman tape measure I broke they replaced it with a Stanley (funny ) they said it was a one time deal. Was told craftsman quit making there own because they broke so much
