Yes, folks, I know their torque wrenches aren't covered, I had "zoomed out" my scope a bit more general by that sentence and thought the word HAND was sufficient clue that I knew better.
Only static, no-moving-parts tools like wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, etc are covered. Well, wratchets move and are covered, but not much else that has moving parts of any kind are these days, and definately nothing that consumes electrical power in any way. Like someone said, it is somewhat floorperson discretion. The point is that this is why Sears keeps my business despite there being cheaper or flashier alternatives out there.
When my great-grandfather passed away (back when I was a teen), we found some ANCIENT Craftsman hand tools in his garage. They were badly neglected, but still beared the logo. Dad took them in, a few at a time, and every single one of them was exchanged for new without question, although one older guy did marvel at the apparent age of the sockets when we presented them to him. That's how I got my first Craftsman starter tool set, and I've never looked elsewhere since.
