[TheForge] Evolution Rage

[Bob Ehrenberger]

Speaking of warrantee problems.  I have a friend that just discovered that 
DeWalt starts counting from the manufacture date stamped on the tool, not 
the date of purchase.  He was lucky that his tool was still under warrantee, 
but if you get something from a store where it has sat in the back room for 
a while it may be out of warrantee before you even walk out the door with 
it.

I'm afraid I've lost faith in anything Sears sells. The
short story being; they wouldn't honor the guarantee on
a couple power tools, neither one needing more than
$5.00 in parts and half an hour's work. I got them back
vac packed with a note that they were beyond salvage
and needed replacement. One bench grinder they
installed a goose neck lamp on and charged for it but
recommended replacement as unsalvageable!
