I misread this line as the Craftsman model that you were recommending.

WTF did they start making those; when they were still owned by Sears or can you get them at the Orange/Blue big box hardware stores today? What aisle?

That reminded me of my friend’s boyfriend who said he saw a newspaper ad (this was in the 1980s) that said “16 Inch Softball Players Wanted.” He said, “Where are they going to find enough of those to make an actual team?”
