What the community says

My early 2000s Craftsman starter set is still the heart of my tool collection. I don't use the ratchets anymore, and I've bought many other things to augment, but those are still my go-to sockets and wrenches.

Don't spend the cheese on Craftsman, I gave one of there new ratchets a go a few months ago and it broke day one. The quality just is not there anymore.
