Might just as well buy HF, now. Craftsman isn't any better.
HF has a gem or two in their toolboxes. One of the larger ones that
usually sells for around $380 or so is one of them. I've got two, one
under my little lathe. The drawers move easily and accurately and it's
good quality metal.
I was specifically talking about sockets, ratchets, and wrenches but
sure, some of their boxes are pretty nice (even if not pretty ;-).
In either case, be sure to give them a few simple tests in the store.
Open the drawers or spin the ratchets and see how nicely they work. You
may not get the Craftsman warranty, but a life time warranty doesn't mean
anything if you don't get a servicable tool in return.
Aside: has anyone tried Kobalt's Lifetime Warranty? Do they require a
receipt?
