I have to go along with Shawn on this. I have returned broken Craftsman
tools to Sears and they were replaced with no questions asked. One
wrench broke when I put a 5 foot pipe on it as an extension and stood on
the end of it. One screwdriver I found in the road and the previous
owner had ground the blade off. A saw was purchased around 1947 after
WW II by my brother's father-in-law. I found it rusty and lying
outside on the ground. It had been sharpened so many times, by someone
that didn't know how to sharpen a saw, that I couldn't tell if it was a
rip saw or a cross cut saw. I took it back to Sears and fully expected
them to just get a big laugh out of seeing it in that shape. Well, the
saw was so old (this was in the middle seventies or early eighties)
that they couldn't find the catalog number and we couldn't figure out if
it was supposed to be a rip saw or a crosscut saw. So, they just told
me to go back to the saw display and pick out the one I wanted. They
wrote up the warrantee info and gave me the new saw to take back to my
brother. They never asked for a receipt on any of these instances,
just the fact that I had their product, and it had a lifetime warrantee
was good enough.
