Sears has actually already sold Craftsman to Stanley Black and Decker. It was finalized earlier this month. They'll still be carried in Sears stores, but will also start to be available elsewhere.
As for the tools I buy: Lowe's (Kobalt) is 1 mile from my house, so I usually go there first to get what I need. They carry the same lifetime warranty Craftsman has. If I can't find what I need there, I'll got to TSC or Sears to find it. Last resort is usually Amazon.
When it comes to power tools, my cabinet is full of yellow. I really like my Dewalt tools. I think the only one I've had fail was a circular saw that was plugged into a 220v outlet. It spun really fast for a few seconds before it went up in smoke.
Edit: Sam already stated the sale. I didn't see it before I typed this.
