And you are correct. The new ones aren't nearly as good as the old ones.

Yes, Lowes does now sell Craftsman tools and The Craftsman line was actually bought by Stanley Black & Decker. . I have heard that they don't honor the Sears warranty in many cases
FULL STATEMENT FROM LOWE'S CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS:
"We will honor all lifetime warranties no matter where the CRAFTSMAN hand tool was purchased. We ask that customers bring in the item, and we’ll replace it if we have the product. If we do not have the product, customers can call the Customer Care Hotline (883-331-4569)."
The operative words are:"if we have the product." I can pretty much guarantee that the part numbers Ion my older tools are different from the "new" tools. That was never an issue at Sears, buut who knows at Lowes.
