The 40 years tells a lot.  I have a set of Husky tools that old which have 
seen a great deal of use w/o ever breaking a single piece.  My old Craftsman 
tools have been pretty good too.  That said today's product from both 
companies can't begin to compare for quality.  I encouraged my son to buy a 
Craftsman set when he wanted to start his own tool collection.  What a 
disappointment.  Thanks to the warranty he isn't hurting but what a pain to 
keep replacing parts.  The ratchets are so bad that they keep replacements 
right at the service desk.
