Harbour Freightt, your favorite store??? LOL

I'd take him to a pub and pour 12 pints of cheap draught into him and
explain the philosophy behind it:
"THIS is how you blow perfectly good money."
I have a pair of Crpsman corner clamps.. had them for 30+ years. I use
them when assembling drawers...lightweight tasks...they're fine,
but.... H E Y ! !

So what is Crapsman? It doesn't sound good. Are you actually
bragging that you took the time to piss your money away on an known to
be crappy, inferior product?

Is that your gloat?

The meter isn't quite right, but I get the poetry.

Holy SHIT!

Was I that obtuse?

I was making a sarcastic comment about the stupidity of purchasing an
known inferior product, gloat or not.

OK..... let me be clear:

Why would someone deliberately blow their money on junk tools, come
here and blow their bugle about it? Why does anyone purchase products
that they know may not or will not work? If it is because they are on
sale, or a "good deal", that is even more stupid.

When you purchase crap, it is crap, no matter what you call it, no
matter what you paid for it. When you buy crap, that is all it will
ever be.

Bragging here about your propensity to purchase poorly made, known
inferior products from a questionable vendor simply because they were
on sale is stupefying.

An example in case I was unclear again:

"Hey look, I bought a really crappy product that won't do the job and
will probably break when I use it leaving me with NOTHING to do my
work. I know I got screwed and I am too embarrassed to call out the
actual brand, BUT IT WAS ON SALE!!! Wheeee!! Pretty smart of me,
eh?"

What would you say to that person if you actually met them? Would you
turn and walk off? Would you congratulate them? I don't have any
idea why people screw themselves on purpose then crow about it.

*sigh*

Soooooo many things I don't understand about our society anymore...

Firestone was guilty of the same thing before Brigestone bought them
out.

I was directed by my employer not use Firestone for company vehicle
service.

This was in the '70s.

I often wonder myself why some one would berate something he has just spent
money on and be gloating about it.

If you mean was your sarcasm difficult to follow, no, not obtuse -
abstruse or obscure, maybe. Depends on the reader.

As far as the OP's self-described minor gloat - nice way to rain on
his parade. You ignored the Rockwell clamp - the point of his post -
the Crapsman thing was clearly meant as an aside. The Rockwell
Jawhorse thing is well regarded, and for $60 for a new one it
qualifies as a minor gloat.

The corner clamps are another matter, and it's not clear exactly which
Craftsman corner clamps the OP bought. Craftsman has a new Bessey
knockoff that goes for ~$25 which is about $15 less than the Bessey.
I haven't seen the Craftsman one up close, but if it's reasonable four
of them for $40 is also reasonable.

Crapsman is the most fitting term for Searz junk. But he spent good
money on them for some reason. I have no idea why.

No, I believe the Jawhorse was.

I thought I was the one who coined the term "Home Despot". Doesn't mean
I don't like the place, I just enjoy playing with names.

I would assume there would be some difficulty in jumping a running
broad.

Perhaps you could assuage any hurt feelings with one of your well
advertised investigations into his personal business to see if he had
any unclaimed funds, merchandise, property, etc. outstanding. I mean
really, since you probably have it ready to go anyway....

Reading big words with a lot of letters can be challenging for a lot
of folks. Read carefully though, and you will discover there is no
reference anywhere, at any time to Craftsman tools in the OP's post.

Worse, you go on to post an opinion on your own opinion of a incorrect
assumption on your part. He never said he bought Craftsman; he never
said which model he bought; no one knows. Being your own sock puppet
can be tough, but it shouldn't be so obvious.

It is possible that he was using a pejorative term to describe his own
self flagellation or even self loathing over his purchase, but we
don't know that, either.

Maybe you and Lamb Chop can work that out and post to each other.

It wasn't a decade before they got into more trouble with their
automotive centers telling people they needed parts which were nearly
brand new. They closed those centers as a result of that. What a
truly wonderful company.


>Larry, Sorry to hear about your accident of 30+ years ago.

No, it was a series of truly shitty tools taking half an ounce of each
at a time, compounded by Searz managers denying instant tool exchange
even when Crapsman was written right on the damned thing, etc, etc.
for over a year. I finally decided to boycott Searz entirely and never
again buy a Crapsman anything. I've been happier without 'em, too.

I like the small crappy wire brushes they have there--sometimes on sale
for 3 for $.99. I think the same set is on sale at Rockler for 2.99 or so.

No laughing is allowed on this subject.

Google my rants here from several years ago. I lost gallons of blood
and pounds of flesh to their goddamned handtools in the late '70s.
Literally, not figuratively. I think Searz got their Crapsman stuff
back then from the -waste- stream of Harbor Freight. Fuck Crapsman.
Fuck Searz. I haven't shopped there in over 30 years.
