Talked to a guy today who had in turn talked to some Sears parts guys.
They
told him that Sears will now only be carrying parts for future power
tools
up
to 5 years. Existing parts support will not be changed that way.

Better find out who made any Sears stuff you have.

That assumes that the OEM will still support the tool. Given the way new
models come out every year it is difficult to carry every part too long.
Given the way people toss tools instead of repairing them, it makes little
sense to stock much.
