Agree.

Switched to Husky brand for working grade wrenches and the like. Sears hand tools went in the dumper and I stopped buying a good while ago. Things like screwdrivers that twist and bend and socket drivers that are stiff notchy and break in your hands.
Wrenches and sockets seem to be OK regardless of maker and brand so long as you stay above the bargain grade stuff. I know that will cheeze off the snappy fappys but I can't remember the last time I broke a wrench or socket. Socket drivers and insert type tools like tripple square or hex on the other hand are best from the top makers. As mentioned the Stanly Proto line is still good with good drivers. Sears socket drivers have been bad for a while......
