Thanks for the post James.

Adding too... I have the new thin line craftsman ratchet. It is definately a quality tool but I like my older craftsman ratchet with the oblong head. That one just seems to fit my hand better. I have broke it once "cheating". I have wore it out twice with regular use. It just gets so sloppy it starts to slip in direction changes. Bought it, what? 15 years ago. Good deal.

I used to own only craftsman wrenches. They're a bit thick. Got turned on to Snap-On wrenches and I luv em. The Craftsman Pro series wrenches do look/feel nice. If I gotta buy a big 1" + set, the Pro's are in the running, the cost is so much cheaper!

Best thing about Craftsman hand tools other than the price is the no B.S. returns. I admit it SEEMS wrong to expect a replacement because of abuse but Sears has fostered this mentality and it is why I buy a lot from them.
