Yes, Ace sells Craftsman, at least at my local store. They will only swap out 
tools for the exact part number which is fine for screwdrivers & sockets but 
might be a problem for ratchets.

Back in the day you could get the rebuild kit for free from Sears.  When 
mine broke, I searched around and found a guy on ebay selling some of the old 
kits.  One might argue that a rebuild old ratchet is better quality than a new 
replacement.  If you'd rather trade it in, I believe Ace Hardware also carries 
Craftsman.  Craftsman has a phone number you can call.  They should point you 
to the nearest place where you can trade it in.
