they still have some store locations, in my area. many of those are franchisee's. they also still have the appliance repair dept, as i just had the guy over about 3 days ago, to repair my drier.

Long ago all Sears store in western Canada closed.
Wasn't a loss for me, I hadn't bought a thing in Sears for 10 years before they were gone.

Only thing I miss about Sears is the affordable and decently made 6 point wrenches.
I did manage to get a complete set of both SAE and metric but still. Brands like Gearwrench, which I also have, suck ass by comparison.

My tools are about a dozen different brands, but probably 25% are Proto, and 50% are Mastercraft which are sold at Canadian tire. They regularly have tool sales, probably 4 times a year, when they put tools on 50% to 75% off, then I go get anything I need.

They do that a lot with kitchen stuff too. We picked up a normally 1k dollar set of pots for 250 a few years ago.

I usually just buy stuff online as needed. Twelve point wrenches are everywhere but nobody seems to make a good 6 point for the common man to afford.
I really can't do tool truck/pro brands for something like that right now, if ever.
I have two cordless half inch, 7 air half inch and 2 air one inch impact wrenches though...go figure.

I've spent a small fortune at Canadian tire the past 30 years lol.
Yes many kitchen items, my vaccum cleaner, area rugs, lights, and so much more. About 98% of it was purchased on sale, I don't like paying full price for anything. My canoe, and riding lawn more were bought in about September, so out of season in 2016, at Canadian tire for 60% off. My latest CT purchase was a few solar powered yard lights, motion detecting triggered, 70% off. Call me cheap, but rarely am i in a rush to buy most household items, so I wait for sales. Buy most of my winter clothes in the spring, and summer clothes in the fall. Clothing is typically then on sale for 60% to 80% off. Bought my mountain bike in October 2018, it was $3,000 regular price, I paid $900. Yes I admit to sometimes being cheap

She'll be alright. Have faith.
It's like a flashback, y'all talking about buying stuff at the tire store. When I was a kid, tire stores sold appliances. Our first new color TV was from Firestone, it was a big 20" model!I've spent a small fortune at Canadian tire the past 30 years lol.

My buddy Ron rode his dirt bike here. He lives about an hour away.
He brought ten of these and some beer.
First time I've ever gotten drunk in a hospital.
Sarah had a 102.5 fever so I asked the nurse to check her for infection at every location where they punctured skin, including her crotch where they put in the angio-thing to remove the brain clot, and also check for inflammation at her urethra and ask the doctor to see if they can check for a UTI because they had to cath her bladder so many times at Rush.
We went outside while they did that. There's a walking path and benches & tables next to the river.
Ron got so drunk sitting there watching pelicans eating fish, he took a piss in the parking garage.
He was already drunk when he got here.
@Rigjockey probably remembers the Seinfeld episode
I'm back in the room now. A CNA just took her temp again and it's down to 100.3. So that's good.

Harbor Freight guarantees that Pittsburg brand and honors it at any store... in case ya didnt know
If you research online, you can figure out what's made where. The Craftsman stuff made in Taiwan is fine, the Chinese manufactured stuff, not so much.

Lowe's has Cobalt and Craftsman.
At least in Salt Lake City.
For some reason when I hit the permission thing for their website to access my location, it decided I'm in Utah.
Their main brand is Kobalt though. They also have Craftsman at Blains Farm and Fleet.
I haven't been in a Home Depot in years because they don't have one around here.
at my Lowes, since they bought Craftsman, all the Kobalt stuff was removed, at first. now they have "some" Kobalt stuff.Lowe's has Cobalt and Craftsman.
