To some, the name and reputation of that brand's quality is what drives these second hand markets. Older Craftsman tools are like this, for example. You can't beat the quality of a certain era of hand tools from Crafstman.
- dotancohen 5y agoJust last week I tried to find a Robogrip plier like I had twenty years ago. Impossible. And the set of three pliers that I paid about $29 for now sells - used and rusted - for well over $100. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185024556116?hash=item2b1452ac54:g:BaUAAOSw0F9hLRKP https://www.ebay.com/itm/185024556116?hash=item2b1452ac54:g:...
- 0des 5y agoHey thanks for the reply, it's always a little less worse when there is someone out there sharing the same struggle! It's a shame we can't bring back the Craftsman company we once knew. An acquaintance had a household fire that melted a set of drivers and craftsman replaced with a full set no questions asked through the local Sears. I wish more companies were like this in 2021, but I understand why some can't- surely these policies have seen some level of abuse. Take care, I hope you find your grips. (Try estate sales)
