Who makes what tools

This is interesting...

I found a Craftsman 1/2" socket set that I bought in 1992 or so that had a NAPA 3in extension in. It was factory sealed by looks. When I asked about it, they said they would be glad to exchange it. It looked identical, so I kept it.

If anyone cares. I just buy no less than Craftsman, I got tired of getting hurt on crap tools....

If I could splurge on Mac or Snap-On I would have those. I have to settle for Craftsman instead...

I wish I could, but having the ease to find a Sears as compared to trying to dig up a Mac or Snap On guy (that sounds just wrong...) when you need one is something to be considered too. They are a pain to find....

I don't too often break the tools from Craftsman that end up getting me hurt (like 1" sockets on 125 lb/ft+...), usually the frozen 10mm or 13mm, or 1/2 or 9/16 are the first to go....And the ratchet quality has gone down the tubes the last 5-6 years too. The better the ratchet from Sears is often NOT the one they carry in the store when I NEED one.... Gotta get my breaker bar in now too, pin keeps walking out and that isn't cool....

I have some Kobalt stuff that you can get a Lowes. I have been really happy with that. I have a combination of Snap-on, Craftsman and Kobalt.
My pulley pullers and tools like that I get what I can find, most of that stuff, unfortunately is made overseas. Good for about 3 to 4 uses.
