Craftsman should never refuse to honor a warranty because of "abuse".? Those
of us old enough will recall the old television ad that showed their Craftsman
desert truck team using a wrench to join two ropes or chains or something like
that in order to allow their truck to be towed out of a jam.? Clearly they are
advertising a use for which the tool wasn't designed.? By advertising such they
would have a hard time arguing that a broken tool shouldn't be warrantied due
to non designed use.

I'm not going to worry about it. If Sears reneges on their warranty, there
is always small claims court. And at least the words of the Craftsman
warranty are the best in the business AFAIK. Even Snap-On does not
guarantee their tools against abuse; while Craftsman does.
That said, those GearWrench ratchets are looking mighty good. Their
warranty isn't as good, but I sure am happy with the GW wrenches I have; and
the ratchets have much finer teeth than the "fine tooth" Craftsman ratchets
do.
