Good illustration of the fact that Craftsman hand tools just aren't what they once were.

The brand is owned by Stanley/Black & Decker now....enough said

Craftsman (tools) - Wikipedia

Craftsman is a line of tools, lawn and garden equipment, and work wear. Originally owned by Sears, the brand is now controlled by Stanley Black & Decker.

Craftsman tools were first sold in 1927. They were not manufactured by Sears, but by various other companies under contract. The tools were sold in Sears, sister retailer Kmart, and several other retailers.

In March 2017, Stanley Black & Decker acquired the Craftsman brand from Sears Holdings, which retained a limited license for Craftsman products[1]. Sears maintains the right to manufacture and sell tools using existing supply channels under the Craftsman name for 15 years after the deal closed.

I'll be honest...I haven't broken anything in some time. I use older Craftsman mostly, with a smattering of off brand stuff and HF.
My favorite ratchet is a Kobalt flex head. Really have always liked Kobalt, and was worried the Craftsman stuff was replacing it, but it hasn't...yet.
