Craftsman should come out with an affordable Leatherman type tool.

I was shopping around the local Sears Hardware and I noticed they stock Leathermans tool, I kept looking and to my dismay Craftsman does not have a product to compete with this.  With the lifetime warranty and a little more affordability than the Leatherman I am sure it would be success.

Meanwhile, there used to be a Companion one, and there is currently an evolv version (which is actually pretty decent). I think there's just nothing that can be done to differentiate a Craftsman version from Leatherman, not to mention that replacing such a tool would be a more expensive proposition (various metals used on the same product).

Maybe it is just best to stick with the original in this case!!!! I really appreciate your product knowledge, you actually have influenced my last few bigger purchases, thank you!!!

This is really not up to Sears, is it? Or is Craftsman actually run day-to-day by Sears? In either case I prefer to think tools should be pared down to 'classic' or having the most useful or all-round tools instead of having lots of misc. tools like at Lowes or HD. I understand the need to have a LOT of options, but Craftsman represents something of a classic American tool, and not a jinsu knife kit - keep the solid original great tools and pare it down so that the more obscure ones can only be purchased online.

Just purchased a Craftsman riding mower. Noticed the beverage holder was bigger and deeper. But what about a beverage holder that kept it cool. Maybe a removable holder that could be put in the freezer like those freezable coolies and installed when ready to use with a backup that could be freezing while one is being used. Reason being I live in the South and my water would get warm while mowing. if you had a interchangeble frozen coolie the beverage would stay cooler.
