It used to be that if you found a Craftsman hand tool anywhere, the dump, along the road etc in any condition, you could take it the Sears store and get a new replacement for it.
The last I heard Snap On did the same thing, not sure about these days.
The only thing that bugged me was in the last few years many dealers would not take over you account from another dealer, as a result I would call one of my old dealers and buy from him, I payed Snap On credit off and then ran the dealer out of the shop. His loss I was still spending approx. 2k cash a year at the time I retired.

Yes, a wise one once said "Sears never made anything but money", although I would add they did so by giving credit to anyone (but at outrageous interest rates).

Very interesting...and not that much of a surprise... (show quote)
Stanly Black & Decker bought Craftsman from Sears, now retailing thru Lowe's. Lowes is using Craftsman Tool brand as their main store brand replacing Kobalt and is honoring the lifetime guarantee on hand tools even if purchased years ago from Sears.
Stanley Black & Decker may also have other stores carrying Craftsman brand tools.

Your friend owns Snap On Tool Corp.?
My friend doesn't own Snap-On tools, he's an older mechanic that owns lots of Snap-On tools. When I said, the tools were overpriced, he told me the default story. I checked the interest rates, and they can be up to 24% depending on your credit history.

Ace Hardware sells Craftsman tools, you can also find them on Amazon and Walmart sells them, but I've never seen them in a store.

The Lowe's near us has lots of Craftsman hand tools, power tools and riding lawn mowers. They don't have an exclusive on them, but way more than any other store. Try a Lowe's near you.

I don't mean to be rude and Snap-On arn't too bad, but ROFL ...
Either you have not used Stahlwille or possibly (because you wrote "without a doubt")
you're utterly brain washed and deluded into believing "American Is Best" when in this
case, it is not, by a huge margin.
I have both, Stahlwille and Snap-On in my toolboxes... compared to Stahlwille the Snap On tools are polished turds.
Stahlwille slaughters your Snap-On sacred cow, runs it through a mincer and uses it for fertilizer mate.

Maybe not. 
Now you get the whole Apple thing ;)
As noted, they drive to the customer with fully stocked trucks. They also have tools that mechanics need that are not in home depot or other standard stores.
When there is an issue with a tool, you can get your warranty replacement through the driver. It's a good service that a couple of generations of mechanics swear by.
