_Wilson_™ 6,564 Posted September 27, 2022 Yeah i figured up there close i thought close î 999+ but then again now that think about it mess .gestiment we low fish i don't how they are now, i haven't seen a snap-on truck around here for bout 9 years + that ratchet i swopped took place when i was about 16-18 years old, and most likely the only reason it was replaced is because the knurl (gear forged into head) was et up with rust, and would skip ...... He went with new guts, but nope it would n sill skip, but no he didnt want to replace it i just kept on him about it and finally got newed up.... But i didn't fool with him much after that but i recall several deferent people took over as snap-on dealers,, but they didn't stayed long. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted September 27, 2022 New Craftsman tools and their warranty sucks now days , I went to Lowes in Slidell , where they sell Craftsman tools , with a zip lock bag full of broken tools and they said you have to have a receipt that you bought them at Lowes or they won't warranty them , someone told me the Ace Hardware in Slidell will warranty them no matter where you got them from , if they have what you got as they have very limited selection 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,564 Posted September 27, 2022 Yeah i go to ace all l the time..... And it's just ,Ike you said IF ? They have it in stock, because they won't place an order in just for tool that covers a return but if you order it out right it's prepay for a certain amount. I hate to say this but as long as we have issues with druggies, pawn shops have turned into a gold mine on small items like hand tools just what they can snatch quick n shove it the pocket, and get gone.

Made my living all my life with tools. Motto has always been life is to short to work with cheap tools. Had always had been Craftsman guy but not able to return tools is a deal breaker. Cant believe I am buying HF tools because of there return policy. I cherish dearly my old quality tools with some being handed down from deceased love ones. Dont know how I would handle if they where stolen. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
