I have Craftsman tools, my dad and grandpa were hard-core Sears guys, and we have alot of older Craftsman hand and power tools.

However, i agree the new stuff isn't that great. Their 3/8" ratchets suck, period. Still is good for the money. Snap-On tools are proably the best out there, but they cost 3-4 times what Craftsman tools cost, and for a weekend mechanic like myself, there is no way i could justify the cost. If i was using them everyday, i would pay the extra, but i just don't think Snap-On tools are worth it for how much i use them
