I'm in the same boat. Most of my tools, tool sets, and tool chests, compressor, etc are Craftsman. Sometimes you can get a broken tool replaced at Ace Hardware or Lowes, but often they say, "Oh we can't get that one anymore.''
Don't know why my Craftsman timing gun won't work, but the strobe does not pop on cylinder No. One. It schitzes and lights all over the place, but it's an unusable signal.
I could take it apart and check for burned components, but without any real customer support, it's no good.
A CenTech cheapie works fine now.
