My best gauge for Craftsman was the strength in their open end wrenches.
I had some jobs where you had to use an open wrench at very high torque loads. I would buy a Snap-on open end wrench for high torque applications because a Craftsman wrench would spread at really high torque loads and you took the chance of damaging the hex.

My tool boxes are full of a combination of different tools from different companies for different reasons. Craftsman always worked well for me at a good price for normal jobs, but then I haven't bought any new tools for working with hardware for a few years ie.. wrenches or sockets. I have worn out and broken tools form several manufactures.

Sounds like there should be good deals on appliances coming.
