My only real complaint with Craftsman now is that under SB&D they are 
not even selling some of the tools they did under Sears. That means if 
you break one of those you are out of luck. I'd like to see them 
transfer those over to Mac for coverage as they still sell most of those 
tools under that brand. My local Ace says they will cover any tool that 
they can get under the Craftsman name, but if it no longer exists...

I do like that they are at least bringing some of the manufacturing back 
to the US. I just hope it's not going to be like others that say things 
are made here when in reality they are simply assembling a parts kit 
from somewhere else.
