I like the way the newer craftsman stuff is labeled so you can actually read it. Ive had my current set so long, I ID sockets by the scrathes or wear patterns on them. The one with the spiral groove on the outside is a 14mm for example.

Been a long time since I was in a Sears. My Craftsman set hails from the 80s, though the 1/2" drive socket wrench was replaced after I accidentally welded it to the battery in a 1971 VW Beetle.
Despite what I've heard, based purely upon visual observation, the quality appears to have improved since the move abroad.
Do they suck?
Haha. My 10mm short 1/4" drive socket is the one with baby-blue paint overspray on it, the color of the '71 Beetle. The 13mm 3/8" drive socket is the one with red overspray that matches the '90 Miata. And so on.
(Oddly, I don't have any sockets that match the metallic teal paint on the '93 Grand Am.)

I've only ever broken (in that manner) one Craftsman tool that I can recall. It was a 36mm socket that I was using to remove the rear axle nut from a Beetle. Put the breaker bar on it. Nothing. Put a pipe on the bar. Nothing. Moved the bar around so it was parallel to the floor and jumped up onto the end of it with both feet. *Crack*
This nut, basically:
Sears replaced it no questions asked.
I then drove the car to the local VW / Porsche / Audi shop owned by the father of a schoolmate of mine, and had them remove it with the biggest goddamned impact wrench I'd seen to date in my life (a two-hander.)
