    I say craftsman they arent the greatest sockets but they get the job done. Ive probly broken about 7 - 10 of there sockets and i took them back to sears with no recipe or case and they replaced the broken one immediatltly no questions asked

    Ive even found some broken 1/2 inch craftman sockets before and took them to sears and they replaced them also...lol felt cheap but hey tools are exspensive

    If a Craftsman tool has a lifetime warranty I'll buy it. Their other stuff I haven't been real impressed with. If it doesn't have a warranty, I'll probably look somewhere else in the future.

    See I look at it like this. The tools you buy at sears, home depot, lowes, napa, or any place that offers a lifetime warranty are perfect for the average do it your selfer/ weekend worrier are great. At home my dad has a full set of craftsmen and they are great for doing stuff at home. but when you start using them everyday you want a tool that feels better to use. I work at a caterpillar dealership and i use my tools everyday and I feel that snap on, maco, mac just have a better feel to them. Yes they do cost a lot more but when you use them everyday its worth the extra money. Thats all I will use and I will have a full set of snap on at home soon to. And the boxes are the same way and they offer a lifetime warranty.
    Step 1. crus at it.
    Step 2. get a hammer.
    Step 3. torch it.

    I use Snap-On. Like some of the others I use my tools every day and there is a difference. I personally won't buy anything else.

    we use a mix of mostly craftsmen, snap-on and some stuff from the freight that you dont need every day.
