Craftsman, Van Staal, ZeeBass, Rolls Royce, Klein, Calphalon, et al
tend to fly under the flag of making lifetime guarantees the norm
and product mortality/depreciation less apart of their marketing model.
one of my early mentors was fond of saying,
"Jess, you buy the best once! And for the three or four times that you will replace
middle of the road, the more money spent on 'the best' has paid for itself!!"
for me, this is the biggest FLAW in our capitalistic system and
part and parcel to the failing UAW/Auto Industry, Airlines, etc and
permeates the mindsets of TOO much of our working/thinking/owning class!!
what would yer objet(s) d'arte be like iffin ya used inferior glass/paints/tools/furnace Nebe??
some CEO's demand more of their product than others,,,,,,,,,,,,sadly more and more are going
South with their model of standard and lowering their corporate ideals from what put them into business in the first place, imho.
