Sears Launches Exclusive New Line Of Craftsman Tools

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Propelled by a continued commitment to deliver high-quality products to its customers, Sears today announced the launch of the Craftsman Ultimate Collection, featuring a variety of innovative tool sets designed for mechanics. The Ultimate Collection features newly redesigned, high performance ratchets and ratcheting wrenches. Most sets include unique time-saving accessories such as speed handles, spinner discs and ratcheting adapters, ideal for professional mechanics as well as DIYers, to get the job done faster. This range of high-performance ratchets, wrenches and more are exclusively available at Sears stores, online at Sears.com and at Sears Hometown stores.

"Sears is the real home of the broadest assortment of Craftsman, and we're pleased to offer our customers innovative new products from this power brand," said Peter Boutros, president of Kenmore, Craftsman and DieHard and chief brand officer for Sears and Kmart. "What better way to ensure our mechanic sets are professional-grade, than by working with professionals to create the set? With the Ultimate Collection, we are proud to be offering professional-grade tools we know our customers will love. And these tool sets are only available at Sears."

This new line was created with input directly from mechanics to most accurately understand their unique needs, resulting in professional quality tools with no filler pieces, such as insert bits. From size range to product inclusion, each set is vigorously tested to ensure durability and comfort. Key differentiators include:

    --  High Performance Ratchets: Ergonomically designed with 90 teeth for fine
        movement, longer handles and only 4 degrees of swing arc for better and
        faster results. Ratcheting wrenches have 144 positions for a 2.5-degree
        arc, offering precise movements in hard-to-reach areas.
    --  One-Of-A-Kind Transformer Ratcheting Wrench: This unique tool boasts a
        360-degree rotational and flexible handle head, an unbeatable
        combination to achieve better access and faster results.
    --  Craftsman at Sears No-Hassle Lifetime Warranty: If any tool fails to
        perform for any reason, Sears will replace it, hassle-free.
