Then buy the Craftsman line, not the other **** line that you must be
associating with Craftsman. Their hand tools are excellent and a great
value. The replacement policy is great and the selection is too. I
used them as a mechanic for many many years and only replaced 5-6 at the
very most. Still use them and still have them. You sound like one of
the typical tool gatherers who frequent this forum and do nothing but
bitch about Sears products.

Are you talking about the line of sockets and wrenches that say
Craftsman on the side, and which are sold at Sears, that have the
sockets routinely fall off the wrenches because the toleralances are
large enough to throw a cat through? The same set where you have to
hold the socket with your fingers while racheting because it takes so
much goddam pressure to "disengage" the ratchet?

Is THAT the line you're talking about? Cause that's the line I have.
Did I buy the wrong line of Craftsman?

You used them as a mechanic for many years. Which probably means you
bought them many years ago, back when they actually were good tools.

Times change, John. Perhaps you haven't?
