Ben. Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Only decent thing about Craftsman anymore is the warranty.. Aside from that I use Husky Tools, Craftsman.. Power tools wise it's Ridgid or DeWalt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 None that I've found. And, if I'm not mistaken they too have a lifetime warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpearce1974 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 hmmm... i have been hearing alot of bad things about craftsman lately... have any probs with husky? Only problems I have with Craftsman is there ratchets are shiit! That and they can't make a decent screwdriver! Kliens for screw drivers and nut drivers! Buy a 150+ Craftsman kit, then as you get some $$$$$ replace ratchets with Snap-on, or Mac!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrIaN EG2 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I've never, ever had a problem with a Craftsman tool. They're all I have. ive had some problems with craftsman, examples broke a half inch breaker bar on a 5 ton truck wheel and when that happened it made me slip a disk in my back, snapped the handle off a 1/2 inch rachet working on a hummvie, caused me to bust open my hand on the hummvies flywheel and had to get stitches, numerous air rachet deep well sockets cracked on me putting stuff back together on a MRAP... i had my military tool box dumped of all the craftsman tools and put in new snapon tools, and back home in my shop all we have is snapon and mac tools...

..SSR.. Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hand tools I use Kobalt due to their warranty. Quality is good. Only thing I've broken was a 3/8 drive as I couldnt fit a 1/2 in where the bolt was. Precision tools I use Snap On and Mitutoyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'd use Kobalt but I can't stand being in Lowe's long enough to buy their products, as they're the only place where I live that sells Kobalt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
