[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 920142, member: 18471"] I used to work as a mechanic, 30+yrs ago. I bought mostly Snap-on tools, other mechanics would say "Sears has the same guarantee". I used to repair heavy equipment in the field. I've had maybe 2 snap-on sockets snap or break, (more from abuse than anything else) and 1 defective extension. If you break something in the field what do you do, tell everyone to hold on while you run to the sears store? I read an article that said Sears hasn't spent the money improving their stores like Federated (parent of Macy's and Bloomingdales), supposedly one of the reasons they haven't done well. Years ago my first wife bought a mattress at Sears, about 2 months later the stitching started coming loose on the edges. She contacted them under the warranty, they sent 2 guys out to "inspect" it. They agreed the stiches were coming loose, stated she didn't have a mattress cover, (she wouldn't have seen the stiches coming loose if she had), and refunded her $100 of the purchase price. So much for Sears and their warranties. [/QUOTE]
