My personal opinion is, at least for the regular type sockets and wrenches,
to go with Craftsman. They are guaranteed for life, you have available
replacements everywhere a Sears store is located and they are more than
adequate for us part time hobbyist mechanics. My first set
of craftsman tools was a 3/8 drive with ratchets. Cost at the time was
something like $19.99. I've replaced the 3/8 breaker drive at least
three times. If I bought just a ratchet today
I'd pay almost the same cost as the whole set originally
cost me.
Anyway, they've served me well for the 30+ years I've used
them (shoot, it's now almost 40 years...God I'm getting
old :-(
