Saw the thread about the craftsman tools and have to say I use them only as a hobbyist with no luck.In ten years I have replaced a 3/8 ratchet 4 times and no I dont use a cheater bar either.SO on to SEARS appliances----we remodeled 3 years ago and replaced all the appliances and heres the results-
1-washer lasted one week and actually caught on fire,sears response?we will send a repairman,my response I will contact my lawyer for smoke damage ect---they sent a new washer.
2-dishwasher leaked from day one after 2 attempts they finally got it to quit leaking
3-stove lost one burner within 2 weeks a second one 3 months later
4- dryer timer lasted 4 1/2 months element made it 7 months
NOW to the real piece of $#@%^ my Craftsman 20hp garden tractor in 2 years I have replaced 5 spindles,3 drive belts,one front axle (it actually split) and 2 problems with the wiring.
As far as the tractor I had 2 old Murray 12 hp riders 1 -9 years old 1 12 years old and NO problems except for 1 spindle after I hit a rock----
I cannot begin to display my disgust for Sears.
