I've got a "Craftsman Professional" 3.5 ton floor jack that leaks.
When I called about the warranty they told me one year and that's all.
Don't have the reciept or papers anymore.

It is hard to say these days. It is now K-Mart Sears. In the old days,
they certainly did honor those warranties.

They probably will honor it, but it might be easier to cut off the
fitting and put a new one on.

...

I've never had any Craftsman "lifetime" warranty be refused altho I've
never had a Sears-branded hose.

I'd check on whether the replacement offered were any better or not,
though. If the hose itself is ok, new brass end fittings aren't
expensive and might be better than new.
