I have to agree with most of these guys about Craftsman HAND tools(their power tools really aren't that great, as mentioned) but the hand tools are, and you'll NEVER need to buy new ones. What I did was buy a cheap Craftsman kit(a big one, but I use the tools alot) they come alot cheaper in these big old blow molded cases. They are the cheaper, lower quality tools in these kits, but at least comparable to anything you'd find at Wally world, and when you break something, you just take it back to a Sears and get the better quality pro tools to replace them. I have never had a Sears employee stop me from taking the pro-level tools as replacement for the cheaper kit tools, so now pretty much the entire kit is pro quality. You'l get on average, a good selection of screwdrivers, a set of Ratchets, and a set of wrenches, along with a variety of other tools. Can be a chunk of change for the initial purchase, but your pretty much done for basic hand tools for life.
One Craftsman power tool that I am a big fan of(the wife bought it, but it turned out great), is the Craftsman 5in1 tool. It's basically a big, heavy dremel with a number of attachments. It comes with a small plunge router base, a D-hamdle base, and bases for flat and angled spiral saw cutting, and a circle cutter(great for ceiling fixtures), if your not familiar with spiral saws thats what the Zipsaw is. But it's real benefit is that it is(especailly with the optional extension handpeice, the biggest baddest Dremel type tool you will ever use. I've used it with a sanding drum(bigger than the normal dremels will handle) for literally hours at a time, without it heating up at all. It looks kinda cheesy, like most supposedly multi purpose power tools, but really is a great tool.
