Bad customer service is usually the first sign that a nat'l chain is about
to go under. They used to sell a small electric screwdriver. I've never seen
another one that small and handy. Not much power, but perfect amount of
torque for working on PCs. I was using one 8hours a day but they would only
last around 4-5 mos. I'd take it back and swap it out. The third one they
decided not to replace for me. They decided I was being too rough on it. I
guess I wasn't supposed to use it to turn screws.
I also had a Craftsman brand lawnmower that essentially was crap. Again same
customer service problems, trying to get them to own up to their own faulty
products.
My favorite is that you can no longer get parts through their retail stores.
You have to find one of their warehouses or repair centers which are always
inconveniently placed. Why the !#$% can't I order another head for my weed
eater where I bought it? Would it kill them to have it at the store the next
day for me to pick up? Really?
