In Response To: No, Emerson built both -- and Sears is suing (Paul G. Jacobson)

: There was a story in the Chicago Tribune a few months back about this.

: Craftsman tools were made by Emerson electric for many years, but Sears
: cancelled the arrangement a few yeaars back. Sears is suing Emerson
: Electric, claiming that Emerson kept some of the tooling that Sears
: supplied them. According to Sears, as I recall, Emerson claimed the tools
: were worn out and had been junked. Sears claims they now believe the tools
: wer stillin good shape, and that Emerson moved them out to a warehouse and
: later used them with slight modification to produce Ridgid tools for Sears
: big competitor, Home Depot.

: You can search for the story on the Chicago Tribune website, but they charge
: for accessing the archives, and I can't link to it from here.

: There is another story on the web which has some of the same facts:
