They won't live to see the end of the free licensing deal that was part of selling Craftsman.

I all but stopped buying Craftsman tools years ago because I thought I
saw the end of the "Craftsman legendary lifetime warrantied tools".

Over the years it has become more and more of a hassle to return / exchange
them. I too was pretty sure they would die off as well - very sad.

I currently have a few broken Craftsman tools.....I better get them returned / exchanged
quickly!

I've had no issues returning broken tools. I just bought a bunch of stuff today because they are running some good deals right now (better than any of the December deals they had).

They won't see the $250M in 3 years that makes up the second part of the deal. The $525M at closing will probably be gone before the event receive it.
