Can't do any worse than what Sears has done to it already. Another sign Sears is about to have it's life support unplugged. Has Sears even sold a car battery in the past year?

More plunder for Schmuckatelli as he cashes out Sears, one trademark at a time.

I assume this will be like Lowe's buying Craftsman and slapping that name on their Kobalt junk.

Hey, as long as he could get rid of "toughskin" jeans, that'd be great. Many a kid's knees wore out before those chainmail jeans did.
