I started getting evercraft tools from NAPA in town.So far I'v been happy with them,but I have only had them a year.The only thing I don't like is the ratchets are a little loose so it takes some room to get them to ratchet,but they are strong i'v had a pipe on mine a few times now and it works as good as the day I got it.

I recently was introduced to Alden wrenches. Anyone ever used them? Alden's are open end wrenches that ratchet. I have seen them at acouple of independent parts store and on EBay. I have not used them, but have been tempted to give them a try.

Seems like there are a lot of opinions on tools here. I am happy with my Craftsman hand tools,and a lot of others are happy with what ever brand they have chosen.Aint it nice that here in America,we have a choice of what to buy.

For me it was the cost of getting replacments.Napa is in town where I work.But the closest place to get craftsman replaced is 50 miles.Didn't want to spend $12.00 of gas to replace a 15.00 tool.

My grandfather would be 110 if he were alive today and my dad would be 83
