I’d lean towards Crescent brand if they’re the ones made in South Carolina. SC makes some good adjustables.Been looking at some, but haven't pulled trigger in purchase yet. I was looking on Amazon View attachment 133502

Used to like Craftsman for their warranty and availability. I was denied an exchange at Lowes as they do not honor Sear"s Craftsman. I did a warranty on Channel Locks end nippers, it was a hassle mailing it in plus postage. I think Lowes POd a bunch of people with Kobalt's warranty and adding Craftsman.duralast, autozone,
the truck was already on jack stands, only option in stock near by
originally was going to get Pittsburg from harbor freight but the location near by is always poorly stock just as the home depot as well on the Husky brand
gotta say all 3 get great reviews and would get the job done but I suspect that these kind of sets don't take to kind to heavy abuse. Time will tell
SAE and Metric Go-Thru Socket Set, 21-Piece
Amazing deals on this 21Pc Sae/Metric Go-Thru Socket Set at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.www.harborfreight.com
Most of my tools are still Craftsman. But I won't buy any new ones. Quality just isn't there. And even some of the ones I bought through Sears aren't as good. They stopped doing replacements for ratchets the last several years and would only "rebuild" them in the store. The 1/4" drive ratchets we're the worste.

The pass thru ratchet looks like one of those tools that just make life easier at times.
Same here on all accounts. Even the broken 1/4” drive ratchets.Most of my tools are still Craftsman. But I won't buy any new ones. Quality just isn't there.

I've had luck with my Ace Hardware honoring the warranty.I think the good old craftsman years are gone, I was doing a part time at sears when they were purchase by black and decker like around 2017 I think.
Sears are gone in my area not sure if ever where but even by that time I saw sears employees trying not to honor the warranty probably on direction from upper management.
Haven't purchase craftsman in a while and yea I think I have only seen them at lowes now
Agree life savers at times
Your location comment made me laugh in your signature
Thanks, I'll give it a try.I've had luck with my Ace Hardware honoring the warranty.
Same here, ace hardware swapped a couple screwdrivers (pry-bars) and a split socket for me. No hesitationI've had luck with my Ace Hardware honoring the warranty.
Funny you mentioned Sears and 1/4" Craftsman ratchets. My first job as a mechanic was at a Sears, and I bought quite a few Craftsman tools while there, mostly bc they gave a discount to employees. Exchanged a number of 1/4" ratchets and rebuilt about the same number too. Ended up buying a Mac 1/4" ratchet which I still have today. I have quite the mixture of brands now in my boxes, but the only 3/8" ratchets I have are the Craftsman - More than earned their keep!Most of my tools are still Craftsman.

My main set is Craftsman over 30 years old. Had to replace the 1/4 inch ratchet about 5 years ago. After 25 years I didnt ask for a refund/replacement.Funny you mentioned Sears and 1/4" Craftsman ratchets.

Gotcha beat! I started with Craftsman 50 years ago, still own complete set of combo wrenches, open end wrenches, box wrenches, 1/4 3/8 (6 point and 12 point) and 1/2 inch socket sets (including deep sockets) with ratchets, plus crows feet wrenches, ratcheting box end wrenches, punch pins, line-up bars, cold chisels, screwdrivers (flat head and Phillips), cotter key puller (which I have used for more purposes than any other tool) and complete set of metric wrenches too. None less than 10 years old (finally succumbed to metric ).My main set is Craftsman over 30 years old. Had to replace the 1/4 inch ratchet about 5 years ago. ...
Then you weren't using it right.I never over-stressed my 1/4 inch drive ratchet so it is still going strong.
