I do buy quality tools. I use my tools frequently. They get way too warn over
time to hand down in any condition I'd be able to use, as a gardener. I've had
everything from Elliott Coleman designed tools, Smith and Hawkins, and up. I've
paid 45 dollars on shovels and 10 dollars. Both wore out or got chipped. I
have black soil, Texas T...ya'll come back now.


I have nothing against Craftman tools at all. I just live 6 hours away from
a Sears store these days and only go up to Anchorage once a year, at most.
So if I break my 9/16" spanner and don't have another one, I'm screwed.

Anyone who ever holds a Snap-On ratchet in their hot little hand will never
buy another Craftsman ratchet, IMO.
