I have a large tool chest filled with hand tools,wrenches,ratchets ,sockets,etc.About 99% of them are Craftsman,and I have had very good luck with them.Over in the woodshop I have some older Craftsman woodworking power tools which are AOK.Not so with the newer power stuff.I have upgraded my table saw to a Delta Unisaw and am very happy with it.As for sockets I too prefer 6 points,they are about the only ones I use.
