Got crapsman tools and stuff mostly as gifts growing up. Back then they were good because they was guaranteed. Then learned it's not the breaking, it's the disappearing that's the problem. Before a project had to go to Sears and replace the missing bits (usually the commonly used ones).

Once got a small cheap set to keep in the car when traveling. Tried to use them once and they brokeded. Until then I never imagined a bolt would round off a socket instead of the other way round.

At one of the 928 gatherings a guy who's family makes and sells Cresent tools gave me a very nice 100 pcs set in one of those fold out pastic case things. To me it was cool because the only adjustable knuckle busters we had when I was growing up were Cresent. We even called em cresent wrenches instead of adjustable wrenches. Found the ONLY tool in the set that DIDN"T have Cresent emblazened on it was the adjustable wrench. Pointed it out to him and he was visibly shocked and had no idea.

While those fold out cases sure keep the tools organized, It takes 3 acres of work bench to open it up to get to the tools.
