These are all the tools I took out of the basement to keep the back lawn today. I am surprised at home many Tools I have that came from Sears. The sweeper , the mower and the string trimmer all have the Craftsman logo on them. I guess I go looking for a certain tool and Sears has been doing a good job supplying the tool market for many decades. But it is funny that I am not aware at just how many implements I have been persuaded to purchase at Sears.
The blower is a Stihl BGE 60. I purchased it about five years ago from Reed's Outdoor Equipment in Little Rock. I forget how much I paid for it, but I remember that the price was very reasonable and it works very well.
Reed's carries a good stock of professional lawn equipment and the staff is very helpful.
Maybe that's it; I don't need the top of the line professional equipment you find at a place like Reed's, and Sears has a lot of the household grade tools in stock and at a reasonable price.
I searched high and low for a lawn sweeper and Sears was the only place that had one in stock. It also turned out that Sears had the very best price on it by far.
I don't remember where I got the 100' extension cord, probably at Home Depot around the same time I bought the blower.
I believe I purchased the Ames clippers at Kraftco Hardware several years ago.
In front of the lawn mower is a screw driver I use to adjust the mower and I do believe it is also a Craftsman. I used the piece of paper to test the cutting action of the blades.
