    My main mechanics set is 1991 Craftsman made in the USA. I have only ever used the warrant a couple times, cracked a couple sockets. I took those to Lowes and they replaced no questions asked. I broke my 1/2 inch drive about 10 years ago. They actually repaired that one at Sears. I really miss the Sears tool section.

    I’ve seen some decent sets from Gearwrench. I say just buy the best you can afford without breaking the bank. I have some Harbor Freight stuff, their quality has improved over the years.

    Good luck

    As others have said don’t go to a place like Midas. I wouldn’t trust them to put gas in my lawnmower. I get coupons all the time from the dealer for $100 oil changes. I do 99% of my own maintenance so I haven’t paid for an oil change in at least 25 years.

    If you live in a place with multiple dealers shop around or find a Euro Shop, much better than Midas or Jiffy lube.
