Hello Kurt,   
      
    JM>> Cost about 800 bucks just to replace those. Good tools are not cheep.   
      
    KW> My co-sysop a few years back bought an old beat-up Craftsman tool set at a   
    KW> garage sale. He then proceeded to the local Sears and replaced all the   
    KW> broken tools with new replacements.   
      
    KW> While more expensive on the replacement end, I wonder if companies with   
    KW> simple, comprehensive warranties save money in the long run.   
      
   Whatever that cost in savings might be, the cost of a great employee   
   is invaluable.
