Might have to try these just to see if they are any better than the replacement crap they give me.

Models? There are a ton of them and I am looking for a good simple one.

i would say they are all good. whatever fits your budget should be fine. i think blue point is the economy line.

when you take craftsman back your getting a rebuilt one back not a new one. i used to rebuild ratchets when i worked there.

Yep and the rebuilt one is not even as nice as the one that I got in my kit to begin with so I am not going to waste my time.

Snap-On, Blue Point, Proto... honestly I have never had a problem out of any of those name brands... of course I buy very little new (I have a good friend at a pawn shop and have access to good name tools for great prices) but the new/used/abused/lnib tools I have gotten of those have been great tools.

The old craftsman stuff no I have no problems with either. It is the new stuff that is junk.
