Back when I first started wrenching and knew little about tools I
purchased an SK socket and ratchet set from a local performance-
oriented "foreign autoparts" store run by a member of the local
sports car club. The ratchet doesn't have the push-button release
like Craftsman, that being a patented feature, but otherwise it has
served me well for 36 years. None of the sockets has broken. (Of
course, they were metric, since I was driving a Fiat at the time, and
as everyone knows, metric sockets are entirely different.) I have
experienced Craftsman socket failure and known other people who have
too, even decades ago.
That's only one data point, which is to say one datum.
