why the animosity? I was stating a fact. I am partial to Gearwrench ratcheting tap and die sets and can't find the individual taps or dies for sale anywhere so it's nice to be able to call and procure a replacement. Apex has been much easier to deal with than Sears on warranty replacements.
it isn't a fact though, it's a statement that YOU have been able to get replacements, you said that gearwrench warranties them, but gearwrench's policy says they do not warranty consumable items like that.
i am stating the same thing about other manufacturers or sellers that have it listed in their warranty that they do not warranty, but if you try to, you can sometimes get them replaced for one reason or another.
the same goes for sears which is why this whole thread started, because one yayhoo thought it was funny to see a "we do not warranty this item" inside of his box of tools. and then thought it deserved it's own thread, when all the other people decided to conveniently leave out that other major brands that people were touting as good about replacing things, have the same exact written policy
no animosity, just stating the obvious, it's definitely not my fault that it sounds like i'm getting short, but talking to rocks is talking to rocks
