I thought I heard a Home Depot ad saying they will take Craftsman tools in trade. Has anyone heard the ad?
Tool trade in?

No , but the other day when I took a couple of Craftsman tape measures in for warranty replacement they gave me 2 Stanley tapes in exchange - then told me that they don't have the lifetime warranty that the Craftsman tapes had . Kinda pissed me off , but they no longer carry a tape branded Craftsman . Oh well , these may very well last the reas of my life , the pair I traded in were over 15 years old . And spent a good part of their life being used in the cabinet shop where I worked . -- Snag
Yup, I had the same situation with two 30 year old sets of Craftsman-branded jeweler's screwdrivers I finally bunged-up enough to need replacement.
They gave me 2 new sets of similar ones that are now only Sears branded. No Craftsmen brand ones in the store.
New guarantee lasted until my car cleared the parking lot.
I discussed replacing all my worn out Phillips 'drivers , but didn't look at what they're replacing them with . Many of those screwdrivers are over 40 years old from the tool set my wife got me for Christmas when we were first married . The store here is one of the "hometown" Sears stores , not actually part of the corporate chain . -- Snag
