When your Sears hand tools get skrewed up (even from normal wear) just take 'em back and trade 'em in for a new ones, I do and Sears has never given me any trouble. You probably payed two or three times more than the screw driver was really worth in the first place so they are still making money on you. If Sears was going broke because of trade-ins they would drop the guarantee. When they say graranteed they mean it. Regards, Ralph (I still have all of my fingers) Durtschi
