I travel a lot and am often unable to bring tools with me. I end up buying tools tools where I can.
Over the last 18 months I purchased two Craftsman ratchet/ socket sets from Lowes. On was 3/8, the last was 1/4. One set purchased in Texas, the other in Illinois. Same results with both sets- the ratchets were very poor performers. The lever to switch direction was very sticky and hard to move, and the engagement of the ratchet in the desired direction required supplemental effort.
Lesson learned- the Craftsman ratchets sold at Lowes appear to be very low functionality/ quality. On a plus note- the case they come in is pretty nice.
