No, they weren't Craftsman, they were"Gearwrench" brand.

I've got the GearWrench brand in standard and in metric, the Craftsman reversibles in metric and the Craftsman locking flexhead gearwrenches in metric. They all seriously rock!!! Highly recommended.
BTW... you really can't beat that GearWrench deal at Sears for $30. They are not Craftsman, but they are a Danaher product, and you may be able to warranty them at a Lowes or a NAPA store (where they sell single GearWrench-branded gearwrenches), should they ever go south. I'm betting that you probably will never need the warranty.
What I need is a warranty for lost tools. I seem to lose more than I break

I thought gearwrench/craftsman were exactly the same except for warranty.
You probably couldn't even just stop in at sears for a free replacement craftsman anyways, because they're only packaged in sets.

I like the gearwrench O-Ratchet, but the little 3/8 and 1/4 drive inserts don't stay in when you put any pressure on them. If you're using regular sockets, get a real ratchet.

I bought 4 sets from NAPA, $35 a set with a $20 rebate, so I ended up with two sets of metric and two sets of SAE for $60. They were a 60 piece set each.

Sounds cool...I wanted to get a complete set.I seen them in Lowes and also in K mart and they are 50-60 dollars for a set.Better go check out sears soon for them as well and find the best prices.They look like they would be super handy in very tight places!
