The important question to ask is What happens to Craftsman? I’ve always liked Craftsman tools.
Sears sold the Craftsman name to Stanley Black & Decker last year.
That’s one of the reasons you now see them sold in Lowes stores.
I think they sold the Craftsman name.
"....Craftsman is a line of tools, lawn and garden equipment, and work wear. Originally owned by Sears, the brand is now controlled by Stanley Black & Decker....
...In March 2017, Stanley Black & Decker acquired the Craftsman brand from Sears Holdings. Sears maintains the right to manufacture and sell tools using existing supply channels under the Craftsman name for 15 years after the deal closed. In April 2018, Lowe's began selling Craftsman tools...."
Craftsman tools will still be around even if Sears closes.

Pretty sure they sold that asset off a to Stanley / Black and Decker while retaining the right to sell the tools. They were shopping Kenmore earlier this year.
I have my father’s Craftsman tool box from the 1970’s. Durable.
Lowes purchased Craftsman tools in October 2017 where they are popular.
Sears. Could have been Amazon, since Sears had practice for a hundred years mail order items.
