I dunno about Craftsman, the only difference between them and Harbor Freight is that you can get a new one at Sears when it breaks - but it will break just as much.
But, hell, I'd rather have them than Cornwell. First day I had a 1/2" ratchet from Cornwell it broke, had to wait a week to fix it. At least when the Craftsman stuff breaks you just drive to Sears.
When I have a Craftsman tool break I wait until the next time I need it and then drive to Sears.:punchout:
I haven''t managed to break anything from harbor freight yet.
Just picked one up and used the 20% off coupon posted by Alan. < $70 OTD!
Thanks! :D

I also haven't broke any of my HF hand tools, except for a torque wrench that was my fauly but they refunded anyway.
nah...with my home-made 2x12 'lift' ramps and hockey-puck jacking-pucks, I'm all set! ::Bleh::Quote:
