At one time I was selling Sears salvage - mostly returns from the tool section & surrounding ares. They have downgraded the quality of tools to the point where some of it is so cheap and poorly made that it becomes worthless without the warranty. We would try to make 1 good item out of 2 broken pieces. Unfortunately a given item has a common weakness making repair from others impossible. I no longer buy Sears unless I get a deal. This is sad because I have tools that are nearly 40 years old that I bought new. Remember when a drill was $40 & we only made $8/hr?
