when I was 12 I started requesting tools for x-mas / birthdays ..I have a large selection of Craftsman hand tools some 30 yrs old ...still work just dandy for me !, & I make a yearly trip to Sears with all my broken STUFF in a box ...screwdrivers, sockets that a 3ft pipe broke etc ...an walk out with bran new replacements NO ? asked ..Geeze anymore they replace a broken ratchet not like the old days when they gave ya a repair kit !
I did purchase soem Metric stuff in Kobalt brand from Lowes , They are pretty nice to work with also.
