Woodpecker Square at Sears! (warning, clickbait!!!!)

So I stopped into Sears today to look at the the tools department and I ran across some interesting finds. 

First off – the clickbait headline. In the measuring tools department, I had to do a double take when I saw this triangle.

Yes – it’s a red anodized aluminum triangle!  I wonder where they got that color scheme from….  Made in China of course, but cool looking and it matches my woodpecker stuff.

A second discovery was these odd clamps:

As a surprise, these AREN’T made in China, but rather Slovenia I think.  I say they’re oddballs because you actually have a forward (big) and reverse (small) triggers for closing and opening them.  They looked pretty well made and not at all expensive.  I’ll have to go back and pick up a few when I can to test them out.  You never can have too many clamps and these look like decent ones to boot.  There were a lot of new toolboxes too in Black/Red trim and Black/Yellow trim- again, I wonder where they got the color inspiration for those 😀
