I didn't know Craftsman didn't cover the taps and dies anymore. Back in the 80's I had a good friend that built a 50' steel sail boat and when it was time to install the teak on the deck he bought 3 dozen of Craftsman taps of the size he needed and about once a month he would take them all back to Sears and exchange them for new ones because they were totally worn out. There was never an issue, of course this guy was an ex mercenary among other things and had a lot of scars on his face so people tended to not argue with him.
