Title: My lucky day
Post by: Kjohnson on March 09, 2013, 04:55:03 PM

Kids phone went bad this week. Went to US Cellular and the phone is still under warranty.

I've always bought extended warranties for all of my power tools and have never used any of them as I've never needed them until now.....I have a craftsman 16 inch chain saw that I purchased new in 1980 but I can't find the warranty  ::)  The cogs on the drive sprocket are wore down. Do you think they still have the part? and will they warranty it ?   :-\
