My father has been having all kinds of trouble with his one year old Craftsman snowblower, and then with the company honoring the provisions in the warranty.
I am glad to note that the lawn tractor I bought several years ago still seems to work ok. But, I, too, have decided to switch to a different tool supplier because of decreasing Sears quality. I have been impressed by the look and feel of Kobalt tools and toolboxes.
