and the quality of craftsman tools hase gone into the tiolet in recent years. I have yet to have one of hteir new ratchets survive more than a few years of use before the new cheap ratcheting mechanism starts to fail (sieze or slip) i have an old ratchet that my grandfather bought in the late 50's / early 60's from sears that required a new toothed gear/sprocket inside ~ 8 years ago.....
