I also have a toolbox of craftsman and that was just for when I went wheeling as the cheap tools for taking on the trail and losing them. IMHO Craftsman sucks period. Their sockets break easily their ratchets get too loose too fast. And they are just made cheap. Yes you get what you pay for with tools so just pay a little more and get a better tool.

SumoDethRat said:I have a lincoln mig but I want to learn tig (much nicer welds you know) and I like miller tigs. As for the snap on and mac tools after flipping through some pages their specialty tools that are hard to come by are reasonably priced. But things like a plastic hammer for over $50....
Plaidfish said:personally I don't do tons of work on cars like I used to at my pops shop.....I buy crapman....I know what teh differences are I just can't see spending the money on the top shelf stuff if I don't NEED it....that's a poipnt I think alot of people defending craftsman aren't seeing here...if you used your tools EVERYDAY (that's the kicker) then you'd see the craftsman stuff fail...it does..I know from personal experience....BUT for those of us not looking to fund a mecahnics shop in our garage the craftsman stuff offers a lot of value for the avg user and th ereplacement is awsome.....after seeing the boyd coddington show where the kid torched a wrench to bend it then returned it, my dads neighbor did a similar wrench mod and they just exchanged it no questions....funny looks though.....that's where I see craftsman having value, NOT in the tops shelf quality arena but great to know you only have to buy it once.....
SumoDethRat said:I'm not putting down people who use it daily for their jobs, just the ones who think they need it when they only wrench every other weekend. I'm just saying if your not a professional mechanic, or use them on a daily basis, why mortgage your house for tools? Save your money and buy a new car.
