Scott :
I heard the ad on radio, so I don't have a record of it. They did not
say "All tools on sale...", they just said "Craftsman tools on
sale...". There was a disclaimer at the end (spoken fast and soft) to
the effect "Does not apply to all items.", I imagine it was fine print
in the TV ad.
And, what you saw was about what I expected : Only a few tools, which
had a highly inflated list price to begin with, were on sale. Sears is
still skating as close to the false advertising laws as they dare, and
IMO are about ready to be sued for it again. California has laws to the
effect that you cannot quote a list price that a product has never been
sold for.
