Sears must be switching manufacturers daily since you say your Craftsman was built by B&D. Last Spring I bought a Ryobi 14.4v drill at Home Depot. A week later I was at Sears and there on display was my exact drill except it was black and had a Craftsman label on it. Sears is getting a little flakey lately with the tools. I've been told that they aren't honoring their hand tool warranty the same way they used to. It used to be they'd replace the tool no matter what, now if it looks like you abused the tool they won't replace it. It wouldn't surprise me if they get out of the Craftman tools business completely someday.
