Don't bother going to Lowes , the "New home of Craftsman" for any warranty tool replacement.
They just refer you to a phone # which, after navigating several layers of automated assistant,
land you in a department that deals only with appliance repair!
They give you a number that has been disconnected, and when pushed eventually
give yo a number for "Servicio en Espano;."
I could speak enough ti ask for an English speaking person, who eventually hooked me
up with a K-Mart store about 30 miles away.
Only other store that agreed to handle an exchange was 45 miles away, an Ace Hardware store.
Not all Ace stores handle Craftsman, BTW.
So, we'll see how KM does tomorrow.
Anyway, FORGET LOWES..........................
