Craftsman wrenches ( at least teh nes I have) havea clumsy feel to them ,and are very thick, making them useless for many applications. I find them uncomfortable to work with.
I have been buying Snap On or lately Zebra tools to replace lost or broken Craftsman stuff.

Funny, I had a 3/8" ratchet go bad a couple years ago and rather than replace the entire thing, they gave me the inner parts to fix it. It is still working fine. Screwdrivers I purchased years ago show no rust at all yet those purchased in kits over the last 3 years are rusting at the drop of a hat.
