Some years back an old acquaintance bragged about getting brand new Craftsman tools from Sears by exchanging beat-up items he purchased at garage sales.
******************************************
Not the same thing ,, Craftsman hand tools have a forever warranty with replacement... it’s a little shady since you’re not the original purchaser but that person was legitimately exchanging worn out tools (covered by the warranty) for identical fresh ones. He didn’t make the policy.
Agree that it’s “not the same thing”. But there are some people that always try to abuse a policy in one way or another.
