Craftsman tools are supposed to have lifetime warranties, but I've never needed to use it and I've also heard that the process is less convenient than it once was (eg, walk into a Sears with a broken tool). Compounding the problem is the dwindling number of Sears locations around here. I also wonder what sort of effect the brand's sale to Stanley will have in the long run. Either way, I actually did spend less than I would've on new ratchets, even with the new tool and replacement ball bearings. More importantly, I'm still using the same ratchet. Sears swears that the newer wrenches made in "Asia" are improved designs...quite possible, but I don't want new wrenches.
