Ahhh, but consider trying to replace that Snap-On, Mac or Cornwell etc
tool and how long it takes for that guy to come back on his mobile
circuit, vs going to a Sears store (provided you have one in your
locale) to replace it. Snap-On and many others are great tools, but I
found Craftsman to be the best bargain and value, and never once had a
problem replacing one, even when I used a cheater and screwed up a
wrench or broke a socket myself. They were also a whole lot cheaper
than the others.

John,

I have to agree with Al on this one. Craftsman hand tools are junk.
I used to think they were good too until I used some Mac and Snap-On
hand tools. Believe me, there IS a difference.

The Craftsman guarantee doesn't help much when you loose an hour to
return and replace the broken tool. $40 lost wages to replace a
$10-$20 tool doesn't make sense.
