So, if Sears finally dies, who is going to honor their Craftsman tool lifetime warranty? I have amassed a fair collection over the last 50 years, but haven’t bought any in the last 20 years since I could just exchange what was broken.
As you probably know, the same warranty is offered on Pittsburgh brand hand tools from Harbor Freight, which produces a quality well short of Craftsman but adequate for the occasional handyman. I can buy a whole set of Pittsburgh drivers for the price of one from Craftsman. If I were a pro, I'd probably pay the extra for Craftsman.
