OLD Craftsman stuff was excellent. I have some of my grandfather's
tools and they don't feel like S-K, Proto, Snap-On, etc. but they are
still perfectly serviceable. NEW Craftsman, the main reason to buy it
instead of the cheapest stuff you can find is the lifetime warranty.

Like my friend says, when you're lying under the car fixing something,
you don't give a rat's ass about a tool warranty, you just want a tool
that isn't broken. I like S-K, and I really like Bonney. Snap-On is
pretty spendy but there are ways to avoid paying retail.

sure, but when you are on a limited budget and/or need a tool right
away, Crapsman is an option. Some FLAPS sell S-K but you need to know
which ones. Snap-On even bought used is often more expensive than
buying a new tool at Sears or S-K at your FLAPS, and when it's Saturday
and your car is apart, you can't wait for that eBay auction to end.

Now if you have a good pawn shop nearby that hasn't figured out what
Snap-On stuff sells for, you might be OK, but I think most of them are
clued in.
