Mike-
I pick up a Craftsman tool and it breaks- Simply self-destructs.
Best advice, make friends with a snap-on tool guy. My boxes are mostly all Snap-on now and the stuff just holds up, and except for some of the Blue-Point stuff its all US. I pick up used when I see it if its reasonable.
I just bought a Snap-on 3/8" drive impact gun and that thing is incredible.
I will say I have some Cornwell stuff and its held-up well; doesnt seem to be many dealers locally though.

Got a few S & K tools... a ratchet that is 15 years old now & still is great... one is 3/8" & the other end is 1/4"... S & K's are fine. If I were doing this commercially, I guess the Snap-On would be choice. The finer clicks on the ratchets really matter to me... I hate those 1/4 turn= 1 click cheap chitty ones.

I decided to go with snapon, trying to find a cornwell dealer has been a bit difficult. buying about 1k at a time starting with sockets & drivers......my craftsman torque wrenches took a dump about 3 yrs ago....bit the bullet and bought snapon ....best torque wrenches Ive ever had.
