So, was  the replacement you received comparable to the old one?  I've  not
tried the fine tooth ratchets, but every time I've replaced an old  Craftsman
tool with a new one, I've noticed that the new one isn't as  nice.  Even the
"thin wall" sockets are thicker than they used to be,  so are ratchet heads.
The handles have more sharp edges to hurt your hands  and overall they
generally weigh more (which can be a factor if you are  working overhead in
an awkward position).

I think I remember reading on this list some time ago that Sears had  changed 
manufacturers for their tools. I'm pretty sure my "replacement" was  before 
that happened, since it was identical to (what I remember of) the old  one.
 
I know what you're saying though, as some of the newer Craftsman tools I've  
bought didn't seem as "nice" as the old ones.
