I do believe that their power tools leave alot to be desired, but their handtools (eg: Craftsman hand tools) are very good. If you break one (which hasn't happened all that often to me) they are very nice at Sears when you return it. Just go get another one, come to the register, and you're off NO charge..... -bill jackson ...decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-furilo!jackson

It just means that Sears was very successful in their marketing strategy. It means that they've got you ( and a ton of other people ) doing all your hand tool buying at Sears. I'll admit it, I've used my Sears chisels for all sorts of things that they were not meant for. And I've even returned a few tools when I ruin 'em. BUT... I would never let them near a woodworking project.
