Walked in to Ace Hardware yesterday and saw a display for Craftsman tools..
I don't know how extensive the collection will be, but it's good news
for anyone who's closer to an Ace than a Sears.

I have lots of Craftsman hand tools and I've only had to use their
lifetime warranty once. I've never been a fan of their power tools, but
their hand tools have never let me down.

(before you state the obvious... that one occasion was the result of me
being stupid, not a defect... but they still honored it.)

Craftsman power tools wear pretty decent until the late seventies. I
have a about a 74 router that still runs , no switch plug and go sound
pretty bad, a same vintage belt sander runs like new both these tools
have had serious use. As for the router I just bought two on e-bay
guessing ones a 74 0nes a 76 the 76 was never used still in the box..
I don’t know about their power tools now the last one I’ve bought were
pretty bad. At one time their craftsman saying was “if it’s electric
it will break, if its gas don’t worry it won’t start”
