Sears and Roebuck was an amazing company.
Engines, rifles, house kits.
Pretty sad, the Sears store near me closed its doors and now I can’t exchange broken tools easily.

Because back then, no one cared until the 60s. They just wanted to get back on the road. This reduced rebuild time from a few weeks, down to a few days or less.
