I should have said NEW Craftsman tools are crap. I bought a new Craftsman ratchet about 4 years ago, after I lost one I had owned for decades (I later found it). I think I got it at Lowes.
It has been in the same tool box drawer in the same environment as the S-K Wayne that I've had for 55 years or so. The S-K Wayne looks like new, the Craftsman will be a pile of rust flakes in a few years. This is very disappointing.
Springtime in Ohio is rough on anything with iron in it. We have several cycles of cold weather followed by warm humid weather every spring, and water condenses on everything metal. Some tools are made to take it, some aren't. Craftsman tools used to able to handle anything.
