Had a friend go to get a new Craftsman tape measure under warranty. Craftsman no longer makes a tape measure. The sales clerk replaced the old Craftsman with a Stanley but told him the Stanley does not have the warranty.
Guess the returns got to be too much for Sears. I knew of a guy who picked up used Craftsman tools at yard sales just to turn them in for new. He then sold new in box at flea markets. Not only did Sears get hit with the warranty replacement but also lost another new sale to the guy who purchased at Flea Market vs in Sears store.
