I have gotten several replacements at Ace hardware. One store made sure the numbers matched from my ratchet to the new ratchet and the other store didnt care. Too bad they're all made in china now

Numbers dont match. I think lowes are selling gear wrench ratchets with a craftsman logo on them. They're nothing like craftsman. 

 

I have a 1/2" ratchet with broken teeth illl swap to.

Lowes doesnt have to adhere to craftsman warranty only the tools sold after lowes bought the craftsman name.

after reading, it makes sense.  but how can lowes have different craftsman tools than what craftsman makes?

I've read all that. Lol no more craftsman tools it's just stamp like everything else.

 

I did get my 1/2" ratchet replaced at lowes but I did not say I bought ratchet 10years ago. Lowes did have a ratchet similar with a similar part number. 

I mostly dont  have much craftsman left anymore. I have a 3/8 gear wrench that's my favorite and a few Pittsburg rackets and wrenches. I find I'm in harbor freight more often and prices beat craftsman stuff.

It is cool to see lowes is replacing old craftsman stuff.

Lol yeah.

 

I feel like I'm stealing something when I exchange at lowes like they know I'm up to something 

Well when I originally bought all my craftsman tools it said life time warranty, so I don't feel bad at all. I even exchanged some garden hoses from theisens that I got 10 years ago and kept receipt and cardboard cover, even clerk was surprised,  but still did exchange :wink:
