| 22. Nope. Their tools are no longer good enough to guarantee like that. |

I went there this year to replace a couple of lost things. One was a pair of Craftsman diagonal cutters that I had used for some fifteen years. I cut the points off of thousands of drywall screws with them, with no damage to the blades - I used them for electronics as well, and after fifteen years of drywall screws, they were still sharp enough to strip 30 gauge wire.
I went for a new pair, and took a drywall screw with me for a test. They only had one kind of cutter anywhere near the right size (6"), and one cut left a divot in the blades the size of the drywall screw, with no effect at all on the screw. Didn't even damage the threads. So obviously I didn't buy them. I need to find out who still makes good tools, and order something.
It's perfectly obvious that they're not going to give a lifetime guarantee on THAT pair of cutters.

Agreed. Who doesn't notice a $440 extra charge? |

I think the man's point is, why is a large respectable retailer trying to cheat the customer? |

If you scratch the surface, Sears isn't really that respectable. |

Lol! I've hated Sear's ever since they refused my husb & me a credit card in 1972. |

To be fair, Sears was the rare corporation to pay their Nat. Guardsmen |
