ok, here is the way i do it:
for equipment, parts, whatever, made in china, i use the harbor freight tools;
for equipment, parts, whatever made in the US, i use craftsman.
just the difference on tolerances of the stuff i'm working on and the tools that fit them best. i have only broken one harbor freight tool, but several craftsman tools over the years. so for me, harbor freight and sears do just fine. going into most of the home depot, lowes, etc. stores, most of their tools come from china as well. i don't pay their prices as harbor freight is almost always cheaper, especially with their online specials, tent sales, etc. just my $.02.
