We always had craftsman because the Western Auto is 1/2 mile from the house. They sold all craftsman tools and had a great selection. When stuff busted we just got replacements. Well, Western Auto suppliers went under and now they carry cheap crap. Even the local Sears closed 10 or more years back. I can bust ratchets off now before the price sticker wears off the craftsman stuff and it isn't because I am strong.
Now we get a big busted tool pile and the old man takes an hour drive to the nearest sears and gets them replaced. I think for cheap tools with warranty its hard to beat Lowes and Home Depot. Those are just a half hour from here. As far as high end stuff I like Snap On. For what I do, those are just to expensive.
