Sears sells a magnetic socket rail for keeping your sockets together and organized. Excellent!

Someone is sure to mention that Craftsman is no longer made in the US and blah blah about the quality of oriental tools. I've been around mechanics tools for about 45 years and the improvement in quality of the likes of oriental Craftsman and Harbor Freight wrenches and sockets is amazing. I have a $nap-on 1/2" drive clicker torque wrench that I got in the early 70's--as a home mechanic I wouldn't buy one today. My other torque wrenches are Harbor freight and they are good quality and decently accurate (within 4%.)
Meh, I wish they were made int he USA but Ill still use them with the lifetime warranty on them

As long as you stick with "Craftsman", the hand tools are covered for life. I dont mean the Craftsman Evolvs, Companion or Dunlaps, straight Craftsman

If you didn't see this thread, check it out. Not sure if you'll get any answers though.
