In combat. On the battlefield. On the treacherous, windy sea. In the stifling desert. In the dank humid jungle.
Or in your garage? Right now, Sears is offering military veterans 40% off regularly-priced tools 10% off sale tools, in store (click on this link to learn more).
The right tool is everything for getting the job done. Whether you’re defending your country or just trying to keep your house in one piece, what’s more important than grabbing the righ
t machine or ratchet or wrench or hammer or — you get the idea — and completing the task?
United States military veterans have been asked to do the 
toughest of jobs when they served, thankfully, Sears is helping them out now that they’re back and trying to achieve what they fought so hard for: the American Dream.
Now, for some of the American’s military’s most impressively effective tools:
MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator Bomb) GBU-57A/B Penetrator
The largest bomb of its kind in the world, it weighs 30,000 pounds and is able to “penetrate” through 200 feet of reinforced concrete. The mighty munition packs a warhead that, itself, weighs over 5,300 pounds.
The skinny from BI:
The MOP is why it’s believed Israel will require U.S. assistance if it ever attacks Iranian nuclear facilities.
No other bomb will come close to passing through Iran’s renowned quartz infused concrete; some of the strongest man-made material on earth refined from necessity by a country that’s one big earthquake zone.
M67 Fragmentation Grenade
One of the deadliest, most effective tools on the merciless battlefield, this ergonomic, portable explosive has a “kill radius” of more than 15 feet and a “casualty radius” of nearly 50 feet.
81mm Mortar
With a range of nearly four miles (that’s right four miles) and weighing just under 100 pounds, the mortar is one of the most versatile weapons a member of the infantry has at their disposable.
More from BI:
A mortar-man’s entire array of military training comes down to centering a level on his 81mm’s tripod and dropping those shells exactly where he wants them.
Capable of striking the enemy from a distance, mortars can be deadly accurate. Just drop in the tube and cover your ears.
M72 Light Anti-Armor Weapon
It’s “fragmentary, anti-tank and a heat and high-pressure thermobaric” — in other words, it can be carried on a soldier or Marine’s back, but at the same time, is “capable of killing everyone in a room or bunker with air pressure and heat alone”.
More from BI:
It’s small size and minimal backblast make it perfect for urban warfare — a favorite of ground troops who know the enemy is behind a wall, or hunkered inside an enclosure.
M18 Claymore Mine
When detonated (either by its victim or by command), it releases 700 1/8-inch steel balls that travel at a blood-curling 4,000 feet-per-second. Interestingly enough, it gets its name from a large, two-handed Scottish sword.
