- Okay... So I know Craftsman isn't the best brand out out there, nor necessarily well liked on this list, but it works well for my purposes. I just bought this set tonight, and it seems like a good de

- If you're happy with them, that's all that matters. Those that don't like Craftsman don't have to buy them. I've had Craftsman tools for almost 30 years, and have had virtually zero issues with them.
