I've purchased Craftsman tool in the past because of the liberal

Does Craftsman (Sears) still allow the return policy on their tools?
Or has it been knocked down to "If within the first 90 days of
purchase" like most other tools?

Unless it has changed in the last year they are still pretty good
about it. I bought broken tools at a yard sell for almost nothing and
got them exchanged. Tools included a broken shovel and a couple of
worn out ratchets. No Problem.

I seem to recall you need a receipt.... something I am always losing!

Receipt solution: I scan anything in if I even think I may need it
some years out. They just sit in a receipts folder with some
descriptive name. Some of the "You need the receipt" places get
depressed when I can produce it. Couple of examples: New motor for a
Shop-Vac, 3 new 18v batteries for a contractors cordless set, ceiling
fan, etc. Works for me.

Saving your receipt using your scanner is an excellent idea. One
feature scanners need is a one button way to scan the file to the
computer without actually sitting down at the keyboard.

My Mictrotek 6000 has such a button, but you do have to title and direct
the
output file. In addition, you have to wait and wait and wait because it
is the
dumbest scanner I've ever owned. I think it's going to accidentally
fall off
the table someday. And it seems every version of the drivers gets worse
and worse
instead of better. Now beside waiting for the lamp to warm up, even though
it just scanned 5 seconds ago, it wants to scan everything in some super
slow
mode. I admit that I haven't Googled this problem, just hacked at it
myself
to try, without luck, for some improvement.

heh.

I have two scanners, a Canon flatbed and an all-in-one deal that I don't
even remember who it's made by. (the latter now living in the girlie's
office, despite having been a present from her. IT's OK, I'll buy her
car parts for xmas.)

Both have such a button, but I can't remember ever having said button
function...
