I've been using Craftsman tools (combo wrenches, sockets-ratchets, screwdrivers) for decades. The only issues I had was a cracked 19mm 12 pt 1/2" socket cracking, due to misuse, (no, you shouldn't use it on a VW tire bolt. That was many years ago!) and one or two failed 3/8" ratchet mechanisms. I think I've been getting incredible value from these tools. They were purchased many years ago though. Who knows if/how metal content used in these tools has changed over the years? Neil.
