According to my father, who is 55 years old, Sears has had this policy since
he was a kid... which is why he always buys craftsman tools. He hasnt had
anything break on him that I know of; once a friend found an *ancient* 
craftsman tool (crescent wrench, I think) and was going to throw it out.
My dad took it and went to sears; they gave him one that was identical 
except for a difference in the "typeface" of the logo.
