I have a 15 year old 137 piece Craftsman (made in USA) toolset that, as I work on the care more and more, just doesn't have all the parts I wish it had. For example, in the middle of a job earlier this month I had to go to the store to get a 15mm deep well socket. It is mostly fine, is decent quality, just looking for something with more pieces.
That said, I'm kind of getting tired of buying pieces when I need them and am looking for a new set. I'd give my old one to my dad, who doesn't have very many tools at my parent's cabin.
These are the two I'm looking at (below). I don't want to spend the money on Snap-on and don't want to go Craftsman again. Any thoughts?
