Perhaps if Sears not been so proprietary about how it markets its brands, it might not be in the financial straits it finds itself, and maybe wouldn't have had to sell Craftsman in the first place. The Stanley deal with Lowe's shows Sears what could have been.
In a testament to Chairman and CEO Eddie Lampert's financial prowess, he structured the deal to allow Sears to also retain rights to manufacture and sell Craftsman tools in its stores, too, for a period of 15 years, plus receive annual payments of 2. So on one hand, Sears will still be able to realize some benefit from Stanley's decision to expand availability to Lowe's, but on the other, Sears could have been reaping all the benefits for itself. He's finally allowed his Kenmore brand of appliances to be sold on Amazon. But the Kenmore deals might not matter as much as they once could have.

And when Stanley does finally place the Craftsman tools in Lowe's 2, stores nationwide, it will give customers yet one more reason to not shop at Sears. Even though Sears has the right to make and sell Craftsman tools for 15 years it probably won't be a big enough pull.
Customers have been abandoning its stores in droves, pretty much ever since Lampert merged Sears and Kmart together.
For Lowe's though, the Craftsman deal with Stanley gives it a potential competitive advantage over rival Home Depot. Despite the neglect of the Craftsman brand at Sears, its reputation largely remains intact with consumers. So having the tools at Lowe's could give it a boost with consumers looking for another brand to shop beyond those already available, such as DeWalt, Bosch, Kobalt, and more. Home Depot, of course, has its own portfolio of brand name tools, including DeWalt and Milwaukee.
