That will be an interesting point on this sale. Will Black & Decker still honor the lifetime warranty on Craftsman tools? I actually like how Black & Decker has been coming back lately. Better tools, great service, new innovations, etc. They could gain a good step up if they keep the lifetime guarantee on Craftsman tools.
Three years ago, my B&D dremel type tool broke. A spring that acts as a clutch/shock absorber between the bit and the motor broke. I could not find the part on-line and gave B&D a call. Lady on the line said that part was no longer available. But then said if I did not mind last years model, they would send me a new tool for free. Did not even pay for shipping. Things like that tend to make loyal customers.
