The only Craftsman hand tools I have ever broken were because they were used improperly. Admit it, how many of y'all have used the 4 foot long "cheater bar" to break a stubborn bolt loose? After I did that several hundred times my ratchet broke. Brought it back without a problem. I've got one of the big ratchets with the swivel head and several of the swivel socket extension thingys and they are awesome when you try and get bolts off in weird places I also have a couple cheapy wal-mart sets that I keep in my truck and apartment for fixing little stuff and emergencies, but I have broken several of their ratchets and SOCKETS easily.
