As you probably know, the same warranty is offered on Pittsburgh brand hand tools from Harbor Freight, which produces a quality well short of Craftsman but adequate for the occasional handyman. I can buy a whole set of Pittsburgh drivers for the price of one from Craftsman. If I were a pro, I'd probably pay the extra for Craftsman.
I see that Lowe’s and Ace Hardware are stocking dealers. Guess I could try my luck there.
