[Shop-talk] Craftsman Tools- Quality???

[Matt Wehland]

Well I just got a new plastic tool set with lots of stuff in it on sale 
for $100 at Sears.
Here are a few thought, I have just opened all the bags and put the 
tools in their spots.

The box on my last set fell apart years ago and I've needed a new set 
for a while.
This new set has-
assorted wrenches (did not need at all),
1/4",3/8",1/2" drive ratchets (cheap feel)
variety of sockets.
variety of allen keys
screw driver handle w/assorted bits

Some other stuff

The box itself feels nicer than my old (20 year) set, might last longer.
But I don't think it hold the tools in very well, we shall see.
The tools on the other hand just feel cheap.

I will get a chance to use it now that the weather is above 0F.

Still looking for a decent tool set.

Any tips on buying used but not stolen tools?
