Edwin Pawlowski did say:

Why not include the hand tools? They are not as good as the older stuff
either.


My only complaint with Craftsman hand tools is their thickness. Snap-ons
will get into tight places that a Craftsman socket won't. Not
that big of a deal for us amateurs, but for pro mechanics it's a
real issue.
Regarding durability; I think the pro tools are made from
better alloys, but since they're thinner are about as durable as the good
Craftsmans. The lifetime replacement warranty on any good tool kind of
makes it a toss-up for durability.
