This is why I stopped using my craftsman tools, they started claiming “abuse” and refused to replace them. Luckily for me, Home Depot in my area replaces craftsman tools with an equivalent Husky tool so I now completely boycott craftsman all together. It’s bad when I get a better warranty from Harbor Freight than craftsman at sears. ☹
