About Husky
Husky hand tools carry a lifetime warranty and are sold only at The Home Depot, which acquired the brand in 1986. It competes directly with Craftsman, which moved to rival retailers after Sears collapsed. The warranty is honoured at any store with no receipt required, a policy inherited from the era when Sears set the standard for hand tool guarantees in America.
