Craftsman warranty

Would Not Recommend

Beware, Lowe's does not honor the Craftsman warranty. Apparently "lifetime" does not really mean the customer's lifetime.

Either cuts the wire, or doesn't cut the coating

Would Not Recommend

I have tried to get these things to cut simple wire in a ceiling fan and they either kick wires or they only cut half of the coating which results in me ripping wire strands during the difficult process of pulling the coating off . Very disappointed.

Screw & bolt cutting function difficult

Would Not Recommend

I guess they’re okay as needle nose pliers but the screw cutting function seems to be very difficult, especially compared to a pair of Klein strippers I used. If it doesn’t become easier overtime I will be replacing these. Do not recommend.
