Bought my first set of Craftsman tools when I was in 9th grade ('83). Was the typical 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" bundle with ratchets, a smattering of sockets, and some combo wrenches. It was an okay starter set...an introduction. It was all forged and stamped USA. As I got more involved with wrenching, I started acquiring Snap-on, Mac, Hazet, Wera, Stahlwille, and Gearwrench. Though I still have those first Craftsman ratchets, I typically always reach for a Snap-on or Gearwrench 120XP. I just prefer the feel and ratcheting mechanism.
