Hi

I would like to get myself some tools set at home depot or lowes for
common jobs at home or for the car. What shall I look for as far as
brands and prices?
I don't need the top or bottom, average stuff is good.
I would like to buy complete hand tool sets like they have often,
wrenches, screw drivers and the likes.
Not sure what is a good deal or not either.

For the home mechanic it's hard to beat the Craftsman sets when on
sale--just watch for sale fliers.

Master Mechanic comes with the same life time warranty from True Value
HW stores.

I thought Craftsman had lost their lustre. Somewhere I read/heard
that they are not what they were. Off-shored, or what?

Your opinion?

Many years ago, Craftsman was limited to specific tools. Later, Sears
branched out to more mass produced items and well as one-off items
that are manufactured off-shore. When that happened, their quality
suffered, however their warranty still stands.

I guess they figure that sheer numbers of units sold outweigh those
that ask for replacements.
