well crafstmen has a big swing in the quality of the rachets they offer the entry level ones(cheap) aren't very impressive, but if you go to the polished stainless pro-series tools the quality is alot better/last year i broke my 1/2rachet it was like about 70years old they tried raplacing with the bottom line one and i just used the argument that it was purchased as a top-of-the-line tool and thats what i wanted for a replacement since it was so old and they didn't have it in a referance book they gladly gave me the polished stainless replacement and i'm more than happy with the rachet//the sears here is very easy to replace tools at but i've lived in other areas where it was a pain//if available go to another sears store///i just burned up my electric die grinder from sears i doubt they'll replace it for me !!i only got 35years out of it OH WELL
