Craftsman used to be a good name, now it's just the same (or worse) house-brand tools you can buy at any big box retailer.
I have a 20+ year old Craftsman socket set that I use regularly... then a couple years ago I bought a new set for a project at work -- I broke one of the sockets within 2 days trying to loosen a tight fastener, and then the snap-ring that holds the socket head together came out a week later (not sure if it broke, or somehow worked itself out, I never found it), and the socket head fell apart.
Sears did refund my purchase price, no questions asked, but I'm no longer buying Craftsman.
