I have a set of Metrinch and have done all my repairs with them. I did buy an additional extention because the short one that comes with it is too short. On the other hand if you break a Craftsman yo

Useless tidbit of information: Lowe's (home improvement chain, ala Home Depot) markets a brand of hand tools under the name of Kobalt. Lifetime guarantee, blah, blah.. If you wade through the fine pr

Enrique I've been buying Craftsman mechanic's hand tools for almost 30 years. I've rarely had a problem with defects, or been dissatisfied with quality or design. Any tools that wore out or broke in
