I like my Craftsman products, I have TS-DP-Router-Grinder, and all bought
within the past 2 weeks, I got the 2 yr warranty on all of it so why shoudl
I worry, for 2 yrs anyway. But I got all these tools at a fair price,
actually I think I got a deal I only paid 69 bucks for a 12" DP. I did have
a Craftsman "mouse" sander that I got as a gift, the thing smoked after 6
months I took it back and Sears gave me a Brand new one NO questions asked,
I think my son may have had something to do with it burning up, too much
pressure on it
My grandfather and my father all had Craftsman so now I do, I do know
that for a time Craftsman was not making a very quality product but I think
(hope) that all has changed.

It's rather refreshing to hear a positive report on Craftsman power
tools in general and a RAS in particular. I really hope that Sears has
seen the quality control light. I have several Craftsman tools built
from the 40s through the 70s that I will not replace. I have also had
some 80s and 90s stuff (CMS and belt/disk sander) that was pure junk.
Good luck and keep us posted.

p.s. That also applies to Silvan and his new TS and anyone else who buys
Craftsman.
