I know what you mean about Craftsman power tools. I will no longer buy them,they are JUNK.I do however still buy their hand tools.I got stung on an expensive table saw about 9 years ago,and that was enough.I would not reccomend Harbor Freight,to my worst enemy.Every once in a while I will walk thru Harbor Freight for a few laughs.As far as hand tools are concerned ,a lot of guys swear by SnapOn.I have nothing against SnapOn except the price.I cannot afford them.I still have my original set of Craftsmans I purchased in 1957,and they are as good as new. Of course I have added many tools to that original set.I also have a Craftsman wood lathe,and jig saw that date to 1950,and they are great too.
