and the quality of craftsman tools hase gone into the tiolet in recent years. I have yet
to have one of hteir new ratchets survive more than a few years of use before the new
cheap ratcheting mechanism starts to fail (sieze or slip) i have an old ratchet that my
grandfather bought in the late 50's / early 60's from sears that required a new
toothed gear/sprocket inside ~ 8 years ago.....

=> Yes, but the firms that actually manufacter the tools no longer have
=> exclusive contracts with Sears. For example, EASCO is one line of hand
=> made by one of the Craftsman manufacturers.
