First off Evolv is sold by Sears, NOT manufactured by
Craftsman.  Evolve is made in China like a lot of tools these days
and therefore the Evolve stuff doesn't carry the lifetime warranty
that Craftsman does.  I've always wondered what percentage of the
cost of a Craftsman tool was tied up in  the "warranty".  Sears used
to sell a Chinese version of tools called companion.  Guess Evolv
sorta evolved from Companion.  Companion didn't have warranty
either.  Evolve sounds more like a brand Target would sell.

BTW, I played with the Stanley version at Wal Mart one night and
wasn't impressed enough to  cough up $22.  The deal I did like was 2
Christmases ago the local NAPA store had the Gear Wrench Quad Box
pair of wrenches on a sale for $10..  For your $10 you got two SAE or
two metric Gear wrenches that had like size ranges from 5/16"/8mm to
3/4"/19mm.  Wished I bought out their entire stock now.  Even on sale
they don't get any lower than $25 even two years later.  Never
checked to see if they were made in China or not though.
