Got a box of Craftsman tools about 40 years ago. Have only lost a few. Back in the day, they were the best for the back-yard mechanic when the others like Snap-on were too expensive. And the Craftsman brand stood for quality. But that was back in the day.

I bought my first Craftsman tools the Summer of 1969. It was the Sears store in Asheville, N.C. It was a simple set of 1/2 inch sockets with a ratchet. Nothing else but a spark plug socket was also included. May have been one extension.

One good thing it included was a polyurethane case which held quite a bit more.

I was working at a Summer retreat and that was all I could afford.

Later that Summer, I added a universal joint, and a couple of extensions. Now I have more tools than I will ever use and that is after giving away a bunch to my Son-in-Law and Grandson.
