Deb2of9; IMHO if you buy Sears Craftman tools, you will get good quality, AND most Craftman brand tools come with a replacement guarentee... .If you break in normal use.
Now Sears sells several other brands as well, so you will have to determine for yourself if the higher cost of C. vs. the lower cost of another brand, is your desire.
What ever tool/toolbox you get; the one trick to make your tools last AND last, is to wipe them off with a dry rag before you put them away.
Oh yeah, get an electric pencil and etch your name on your tools.
Good tools stay home that way And I do this also. I got a pint of an obnoxious color paint[yellow] and put a streak of it on my tools. Way easy, to see if hubby, brother, neighbor has borrowed yours. No problems establishing ownership.
I just gush...'oh, I've been looking for my widget..I wondered where that was...". All taken care of neat & tidy.
With the paint streak, you know it's yours immediatly..and more importantly..so do they.
Your plan to buy good tools, is sound.
