[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3629843, member: 45524"] fwiw, Lowe's still honors their Kobalt lifetime warranties; at least they did a few months ago when i had a ratchet seize up. they just told me to go get another one. the one i had was from a bundle, so i wasn't able to get the exact one. i told the guy working at customer service as much, and he said "it's okay, just go grab one". so, let's just say i got myself a bit of an upgrade when it comes to replacing a super basic 3/8'' ratchet. I asked the guy if since Lowe's was really pushing Craftsman stuff if they would still stock and continue to honor the Kobalt stuff and he said yes. in my experience kobalt is chinesium, but it's been better chinesium than most. and if you can replace and upgrade when they break, there's really no downside. i've got a bunch of their stuff from hand tools like planes and coping saws to power tools like miter saw and table saws. so far they've all worked well and i've had zero issues.
