Where I live in VA we have 2 Lowes in town..one store has completely switched to craftsman (no kobalt at all) and the other is about 1/2 and 1/2. As far as them honoring the warranties, I've had customers (I work at Sears) tell me they have tried replacing at both locations and were told if...

I have over 100. Only 9 of them I actually use. Majority of all the other ones are old or ones I felt were cool. I have what my ol lady calls "an unhealthy obsession for ratchets". Lol!

Love to try out some new tools so count me in!

I work for Sears so you're preaching to the choir on that! LOL

Talking warranties is like talking politics imo....everbody thinks they are right and everybody who disagrees is wrong. It's really all about ones ethics and how one reads or perceives what the warranties say.

Turn one or two into smokers! There's videos on YouTube to show you how, and it's relatively easy! Works great too!

So it's got a "limited lifetime warranty" which you DO need the receipt for that type of warranty. It also only covers manufacturer defects. The bearings in the rails failing after 18+ years sounds like a ware and tare issue which is not covered. In all honestly you are lucky getting anything at...

Nice collection!! Really like that "hammer/driver" one!

Hexen....yeah I about freaked out over that hammer! It brings back so many memories from getting yelled at for always losing the pieces to the one my dad had! Lol Outlaw...yeah I've always known Weller for soldering tools too. Definitely was interesting to find out they had a sabre saw too.

Re: Side of the road tool finds I've seen things on the side of the road but have only turned around once to pick it up (it being a ratchet) it was gone. I think it's kind of funny though that pretty much everyday, to and from work, I see about 4-6 storage buckets on the side of the road.

I've been following this thread through the last couple years and have never posted posted anything. This year I figured I would. Here's my first haul of the season. The price I paid..$0! I have this older gentleman that has been a repeat customer where I work that I have developed a friendship...

Found these Genius Tools display boards in eBay. Worth the prices? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genius-Tools-17PC-1-2-Dr-Accessories-Display-Board-AC-417-/221829627343?hash=item33a6137dcf:g:3YYAAOSwMmBVqWN2...

Had to ask! Lol :thumbup:

Am interested in the ratchet and breaker bar (possibly the whole socket set) if you are interested in selling!
