Purchased this Ratchet about a year ago and since its a tool I did not keep the receipt. I put it in my tool chest and left it there, it was so shiny that i did not want to get it dirty. I have been using my old oil caked ratchets until on that fateful day I grabbed it to go do some wrenching on my car. The first bolt I tried it on sheared the drive gear off. I have never broken a ratchet in my 50 years on this planet until this day. Each tool carries a lifetime warranty. You can get a replacem...

Locked up
I have just used this ratchet for the second time to take oil drain bolt aloose and it locked up… I keep this at home for just incase situations instead of running back to my shop for tools. Now I come on Lowe’s site for wear I purchased the whole kit and it says ratchet is out of stock so now what? I also have n older 3/8 flex head I need to warranty out but no one carries that model anymore??? So what do I do now with these LIFETIME WARRANTY tools🤷🏾♂️
Tool review/ Customer Service rant
Tool Review + All metal construction with a nice finish + Well made internals with very little slop - Pretty chunky for a 1/4" ratchet. - Heavy backlash for a single pawl 72 tooth design. * was initially defective from the store (NEW) - nearly dry internals, disassembled at home, cleaned internals and lightly coated with Superlube (NGLI-0) full synthetic PTFE grease. Reduced backlash, now functions. * a vast improvement to the Craftsman tools offered for the past 15 years. Still a hobbyist/entry...
Only the best
Only Craftsman, only the best. My dad Craftsmans tools date to the 40's. Still going strong!
Very poor quality!
Used maybe half a dozen times and was putting new spark plugs in my truck when the ratchet locked up. Not the same quality as years ago. And now Lowe's doesn't have them in stock.

Will Lowes honor the warranty on my Craftsman 20 yr. old 1/4-in ratchet by replacing it with an equivalent Craftsman ratchet?
