But I agree: colour-coded sizes, NEVER strips, and you actually CAN hold

screw in the screwdriver to get it to where you want it.

I wouldn't say 'never strips'. This afternoon, I loosened one that was
partially stripped by my corded Craftsman Professional drill/driver.
I was able to re-use it but the bit spun some in the slot.


Now if you want a real debate..........let's talk about the crappy quality
of Craftsman electric tools.

Give me a DeWalt any day. ;-)


If I told you that Craftsman electric hand tools were made by DeWalt,
would that make a difference? :)
Most of them compare more to Black & Decker.
The only Craftsman tool I would consider now is the top of the line
model (Professional) and only if on sale. Last year or so I purchased a
1/2" hammer drill, electric hand planer and a new 7&1/4" circular saw to
replace a 30 year old one...all Makita, the tools feel good, work well &
come with nice cases. Note: I also get them on sale locally.
