Last year, I burned up a Craftsman circular saw and took it down to the service center to get my "Craftsman" warranty replacement. Unfortunately the warranty that is so good on the hand tools does not apply to electrical or power tools. The "repair" cost was as much as a new saw at many of the discount places.

I like good tools and I decided to buy a Milwaukee circular saw with magnesium base since I use a circular saw quite a bit. It is more powerful and lighter than the old craftsman saw and finished the job that burned up the Craftsman. I got quite a bit of good service out of the Craftsman saw, so this was not an "expensive lesson," but I will not buy another Craftsman tool that has a motor.
