Free replacement (in time) doesn’t constitute high quality in my books.

I'm not thinking Snap-on quality, price, or service. But what's a good tool line, all factors considered, for the weekend warrior guy who works on his own cars. Craftsman used to fill that role...no more, since it's now a chinese junk level tools line.
Your comment reminds me of a long ago conversation with a local independent mechanic/shop owner. I said if I won a lottery, I'd buy a complete set of Snap-on...
He replied if he won a lottery, he'd give me all his snap-on tools, because he'd never work on a car again.
I'd love hearing about a made in USA tool line for the home mechanic that is as good as the made in USA Craftsman was. I'm thinking such a line doesn't exist.
