Lotta good tools in the 60's. My 60's Milwaukee 1/2" drill is all
metal. I hadda pair o' Wizard-brand channel lock pliers. Cheapo
casting, sold by Grand Auto fer $3.95USD, way better than anything by
ChannelLock, at four times the price. I can still clamp down on a
roach (I live in CO) with my key-chain-sized J.H.Williams adj wrench which I've
carried --and used heavily!-- fer 40 yrs. I used my reg S-K sockets on a 3/8"
butterfly torque wrench. They never even lost their chrome!

Craftsman? The very first tool line I ever dumped ....in the 60's!

Let's face it, China is now making most of our tools. BUT, they are
wise enough to include the universal stamp-of-acceptance, the
"lifetime warranty". Craftsman did that for us.
