The company that I work for, has a safety program with Wayne-Enterprises. They are a uniform/product company for the gas industry in which I work in. Well, every quarter, employees get X number of points to spend at the WE store. So last week, I finally got my Craftsman shop vac and 4.5" grinder all for free...
I can't post direct links to the WE store, but I can use the Sears links...

Craftsman 16 Gallon 6.5 Peak HP Detachable Blower Wet/Dry Vac - Tools - Wet Dry Vacs - Wet-Dry Vacuums

Sears.com

They offer a bunch of other products like hunting gear, travel, sports, other hand tools etc etc.

Had to buy a new air angle die grinder last night. The last one broke a ring inside the angle part of the grinder.

I bought some new sockets and screwdrivers on Black Friday at Sears and started to put them in my toolbox and guess what. All of the sockets and adapters were made in China and only the screwdrivers were made in the USA! I made a trip back to Sears today and returned the China tools.

No MAN tool collection is ever complete. Tomorrow, a new tool will be invented, and that tool, will some day be in my tool box.
