Sure, but I had 'Craftsman' socket sets, lifetime warranty. Most people said that 'you needed it if you bought their sets.
I also had an iMac, refurb, that went totally mental. I mean it was unusable. Sure it had a warranty, and I bought AppleCare, but it was The Time. I had to diagnose the issue, I had to call Apple, I had to truck it to the local store TWICE, and finally it went completely sideways and mental while it was there. I *did* get a new iMac as a replacement, but the time I spent away from my business and the projects I was working on wasn't compensated for. I asked if it was related to the original purchaser and their reason for returning it? Apple changes the serial number so tracking it's original issues seems impossible. *shrug*
But the other refurbs I've bought have been solid.
