Ha .  .  .  !   That's a good one.

So  .  .  I Erb says Craftsman tool warranties go with the tool.

And that's the way the Sears tool guy put it also.  He say's the circumstances
don't matter.

So my good deed for the day stands.  A screwdriver is off Highway 2 in Central
WA.

And to boot I turned out the beneficiary of a brand new SU-adjusting
screwdriver.

I say that's wonderful.

  Absolutely no choice.
  You must throw one on the highway to appease the screwdriver gods!!!
