HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., April 24, 2013 - America's garages just got a lot cooler. Two American icons — Craftsman and Harley-Davidson— have teamed to produce co-branded, special-edition tool storage products available now in Sears stores and online. As part of its collaboration, the Craftsman brand becomes the official hand and power tool sponsor of the Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary Celebration.
"Working with Harley-Davidson is a natural association for the Craftsman brand," said Michael Castleman, president, Kenmore, Craftsman and DieHard and senior vice president, Sears Holdings. "With similar roots steeped in the heart of the American garage, we share the passion for the ingenuity and freedom that drive our customers. Together, we are leveraging marketing, community and product assets to broaden the reach of our great brands, including outreach to both the Craftsman Club and Harley Owners Group."
Three special-edition Craftsman/Harley-Davidson co-branded tool storage units are available now, in advance of Father's Day, for purchase exclusively at Craftsman.com, Sears.com and at Sears stores nationwide, including Sears full-line stores, Sears Hometown Stores and Sears Hardware Stores. To further celebrate this initiative, Craftsman Club, part of the SHOP YOUR WAYSM Network, will offer special pricing to Members on each co-branded item sold through Craftsman.com and Sears beginning in May. All units feature a black frame, official Harley-Davidson "vintage orange" drawer fronts and official Harley-Davidson decaling, including the Harley-Davidson bar and shield.

- 18-Drawer Heavy-Duty Combo (Model #38708/#38709): Can hold even the largest of tool collections. This 40-inch unit features a seven-drawer top chest and 11-drawer rolling cabinet.

In mid-summer, the Craftsman brand and Harley-Davidson will launch other versions of these items to be available exclusively at Harley-Davidson dealers nationwide. The dealer-exclusive assortment of three, four and five-drawer products will feature an all-black design with official Harley-Davidson "Dark Custom" decaling and a load rating of 1,000 lbs.
"Strategically, the Craftsman brand is a perfect fit for Harley-Davidson," said Mark-Hans Richer, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Harley-Davidson Motor Company. "When it comes to working on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, our riders crave only the best. That's why the Craftsman brand is now the official hand and power tool sponsor of the Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary and beyond."
Craftsman tools will be part of special commemorative anniversary events throughout the summer and fall, including the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and at festivities in Milwaukee on Labor Day weekend. For a full list of anniversary events, visit Harley-Davidson.com/110.
