My friend owns a shop and he has worn out about 20 of them for the same reason. Only positive being that he wears them out within 3 months so he just takes them under warranty. Check the internet. Other people have had the same issues.

I have US General aluminum one now. I have had it about a year and no issues.
I've read the same thing on the net. Kinda surprising as Craftsman positions itself as a reliable brand. Does anyone make anything decent nowadays, or are all mfg's aiming for the bottom of the bargain bin?
