well, if you didn't buy it at Sears, why would they replace it? Is it a Craftsman?

orieley, autozone, sears, or any other gearwrench dealer will work. it's gearwrench and they cover warranty.

my snapon guy and my matco guy carries and they warranty with no questions asked.

Yeah i know i was lazy though and my gearwrench was within hands reach. I dunno how it broke, it broke on the non ratcheting side.

I have a lot of gearwrench tools. Master normal wrench set, stubby set, and the xl set also their master screwdriver side. I believe gearwrench makes their screwdrivers for matco but are just rebranded. They look simular but half the price.
