i am not sure if this has been done before, but what the hell. how many tools have you warrantied in your lifetime so far? responses could include a rough estimate, and if you are a pro, or DIY, and how long have you been turning wrenches...

driving along on a side road today, a small grey and red old craftsman box caught my eye, in someones garbage pile... i spun around, expecting an empty beat up box, but was suprised with a heavy, mostly full beat up box!! threw it in the trunk and headed on my way. opened it up tonight when i...

a few months ago, i bought a 5pc metric china made flare nut set for $39.99 at sears in a pinch one night. i was not very satisfied with them at all really, they fit fairly well, but the overall quality was not there. the broaching was fugly, and not uniform. i decided last week to take them...

i was under a car today, supported by jackstands and a floor jack, and for some odd reason, i thought about earthquakes. i have never experienced an earthquake that was anymore than barely noticeable, so i cant really say how much the earth moves back and forth horizontally. do you guys on the...

are there any retail stores that warranty SK stuff? i have never run across SK in a retail, just curious if anyone knows of an industrial retail chain or somewhere. strictly mail in warranty?
