Yer right there... I returned a failed Craftsman oscillating lawn
sprinklre and they did replace it for free, but the replacement didn't
say "Craftsman" on it and the guy handling the swap told me if the new
one failed I'd be SOL as far as another replacement went.

Even 10 or more years ago they replaced hand tool -- *3/8 ratchet with
"refurbished". Still works.

Sears no longer owns the craftsman name, they are a licensee

This is probably a good thing Sears K Mart is near bankruptcy, they
are close to going out of business


Interesting...
