Whatever happen to Satisfaction Guarantee or you Money Back ?

My Craftsman jack is about a year old now and I would Never Trust a jack without jack stands as a backup.

My Top of the line Craftsman Snow Blower Breaks every year and Sears could care less. I'm lucky if I have put 15 hours on it and the chute controls break every 7 hours of use.

Thank God I bought the 5 year Warranty, but it's still a pain in the Azz.

Sears has Lost many Thousands of dollors of my hard earned money each year since they changed their policy.

Their Customer Service SUCKS !!!!

i think you are right, the only thing keeping me from buying snap on tool was the craftsman's warranty. if craftsman jsut gonna slap on a cheesy mickey mouse warranty, i think i wouldn't even bother to buy them anymore.

The hand tools all have a lifetime warranty. Be sure they are not rusted at all tho. If you get a picky sales person they can deny you because of the rust. If that happens just go to a person later. Most people don't care. If they seem like they are unsure just tell them you never had a problem before and they will usually do it.

try calling the cs #, when i tried they couldnt even find the product in their system. i gave them every damn number off of the jack and every number from the website, even called the store to ask for prod #s and nope, zilch, nada.. its like sears' customer service doesnt know they sell this thing. i think u can keep adding oil/fluid to it but that just gets oils/fluids all over the place

Umm - not that I would do this but a plan came to my mind:

Go to Sears, buy another jack, keep the reciept, go back in a month, exchange the broken jack, sell it on S2KI.

Slight PIA but I'm really balking at dumping $200 on a new one. The thing DID leak within a year. If they dont even sell parts I'm not feeling too guilty - oh I mean WOULD FEEL.

Speaking of floor jacks, how do you guys jack a lifted car up? Do you just use the OEM jack until its high enough to shove a normal jack under?

That would work fine as long as the jack looks the same, which it should. Look for a new kid that won't know the difference. Most of them don't know thier head from thier a$$. Sears does not spend much time training people anymore. I get sad everytime I go in there now. When I worked there we had to know everything but not anymore. Good Luck
