Sears............

[Eric G]

My moto was Crapsman free by 2003! They use to be a good company, but as with most businesses, time corrupts all things and these guys are a good choice for the number one slot on this.

Essentially all brick and mortar retail stores are having a rough go these last few years and the most established/least flexible are faring the worst. I grew up with Sears and most of my tools are Craftsman which I like. They served this country well for over 100 years but they have clearly lost their way.

After killing off most of the local mom and pop hardware stores, Home Depo and Lowes seem to be in trouble as well. Not a good sign for a DIYer.
