Used Craftsman for the longest time until Sears sold/spun off the brand, then stopped purchasing altogether. I moved into a new home and when I needed a replacement, my new neighbor turned me onto Milwaukee and I never looked back. Replacing years old Craftsman tools with Milwaukee as needed.
Yes, but it's better than no tool. Honestly, neither of those ratchets have broken yet and I've literally hammered on them so I don't have any complaints so far.
