Back when Craftsman were quality tools that the average working man could afford! :like:

Very nice!  Wooden case looks pretty solid too!
May the best of your past, be the worst of your future.

Awesome set! I've got one that's almost identical, but it's not Craftsman.



In my opinion with Craftsman today--V-Series is great (often sharing designs with Facom and Mac Tools--and in fact, I've chosen the Facom/Craftsman V-Series as what I'll get instead of the Williams/Snap-On ratcheting driver) as-is Overdrive, but everything else--meh. I honestly think that Lowe's move of replacing many Kobalt offerings with SBD Craftsman was a step down in quality.

Hi Cody,  yeah,  some of the earlier Kobalt tools were made by SK.  When you can find them in good shape they are a great buy. I rarely buy new tools.  Now value proposition for me in buying new.
