Off topic, but like everything else craftsman is getting cheap. I bought a couple socket sets for the trawler from Ace and returned them. The Stanley set from Walmart was better quality, more sockets and half the price. Keep in mind Ive run nothing but Craftsman hand tools. Bought a set of Craftsman flare nut wrenches and they were decent.

I've got an old beam type, used it for many motor rebuilds. Got it from NAPA 40 years ago, its been a good one. We have a three ft. Snap on at work for some of the big stuff I work on in the steel mill, glad I didn't have to buy that one. I have Craftsman, Armstrong, Proto and Snap on tools at home. Most are pretty old but work well. I just broke my Snap on 1/2 inch ratchet at work, busted my arse when it broke. Got it repaired the same day for free. A lot of guys speak highly of the Cobalt tools at Lowes, haven't tried any yet. SK makes some good tools too. You usually get what you pay for!

Yeah I saw Craftsman tools in Lowes the other day. Sears seems to be struggling with their business. I have all Kenmore appliances in our house, hope they make it through hard times. I've got warranties on everything, hope they continue to honor them.

Sears themselves never made anything. Everything was made for them to their specs. Understand, their had some tight specs and so their stuff was really good, just saying they didn't make it.

I am becoming a fan of the Cobalt tools myself. Always bought craftsman in the past, I treasure my old craftsman stuff though as I'm willing to bet the quality will be getting cheaper now. Side note, was just telling my least favorite son in law don't ever order anything from lowes! They will disappoint you every time !!!
