Over the past several years , I bought a couple of their socket sets and combination wrench sets for my garage at home. The quality just isn't what it used to be.Originally Posted by N8YX
Not at all. Not even close to what it used to be. Craftsman quality is now at a point where generic Chinese tools were in the 80s. The generic Chinese junk is better than Craftsman. The cost of Craftsman tools has also gone up beyond reason. I've switched over to Lowe's Kobalt branded tools and have had very good luck.
That is a sad day. When I went to school back in 1975, I decided to get my Airframe & PowerPoint Mechanics License. I got a pretty full set of tools back then, supplemented for 30 years after. I have been using them for everything, but they were always my prized possessions.

I think the wheels started to fall off after they bought K-Mart.
If memory serves, it was the other way around. And yes, that was the start down the slippery slope.

Actually, K-Mart bought Sears.
