I did that because I heard Harbor Freight won't replace lifetime warranty ratchets without a receipt, and even the original receipts start to fade after 6-12 months. Somebody in front of me in line didn't have his receipt, and didn't speak English very well, but they let him exchange it anyways.
The direction mechanism on my Craftsman 1/4" ratchet kept getting stuck, and it pained me to swap my made in USA ratchet for a made in China one. But what can you do.
I'm interested to seeing the reviews of Craftsman going forward with Sears Craftsman vs. Lowes and Ace Craftsman.
The set in this deal would be one that I'd keep in the car. I have a 1/4" ratchet with a 10mm socket that pretty much takes care of everything on everything you can adjust quickly on a Honda. So if you don't have one I'd recommend getting some kinda set. It comes in handy. I have a "tough built" set with other sizes too, but that set is absolute crap.
I hate how some sets don't list what size sockets it comes with. That's important.

This HF ratchet skips, has like 36 teeth and, as another user noted, sockets don't stay on the adapter for a 10mm. I'll probably pick up the Craftsman and put this in my trunk.

That maybe true but for something used very little such as for stocking a second home it works. And if its stolen no loss.
Broke a wrench and HF replaced. No receipt was required.
"Lifetime Warranty. We guarantee this Tool to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the life of the product. Limitations apply."
Are you a professional mechanic? If you're not then it doesn't seem like this set would be good for "light work" "at home" since you had to replace it twice... and if you are a pro why would you buy a $10 ratchet set? Just curious.
I believe the "light use at home" he's referring to is stuff like taking the service panels off a washing machine, tightening the legs on a chair/table, etc....you know, things that aren't torqued down to 120 ft-lbs like rusted auto parts.
If the ratchet fails while you're snugging down a bolt on your dishwasher, that's just inconvenient. If the ratchet fails while you're reefing like hell on your little 1/4" 10mm socket on an alternator bracket, your delicate hand meat and knuckles are flying into something sharp, hard or both.
I know it's not a real repair job until you've drew blood and screamed out expletives, but there really is such a thing as "the right tool for the job."
