The only reason I went to Sear was for Craftsman products, and I'm sure I'm not the only person. Can't say that I see Sears making it much longer. The ones hear in VA already look run down and are empty most of the time. Now for tools, Harbor Freight's hand tools have the same warranty. Not to mention prices are much better.
With all that being said, I'm not the biggest mechanic or handyman (Still learning) so anyone that is a heavy tool user please feel free to let me know how they handle up to your use.
