Re: No More Craftsman Tools For Me

ok, fine, here's my 2 cents.
I have some craftsman tools. I have a set of fractional wrenches from 1/4 through 1 1/2. also stubbys from 5/16-1" I like them better than snap-on because of the thicker handles. they dont gouge into my hands. I also have the full set of 1/4 sockets in metric & fractional. about once a year I have to take the most used ones back for replacement. they wear out & spin on bolts. the last time I did this they gave me some crappy model where the drive end has a kind of double square. its difficult to install them on a ratchet while your busy. (I will replace the most used ones with Snappies or Matco.)
for the most part i have been quite happy with my craftsman tools.
BUT (like you didnt see this coming) I see they are getting lower in quality. I frequently buy some from them to make special tools. lately they are not finished if this makes sense


did you know craftsman tools are made by the same company that owns Matco?
