Craftsman is not a professional grade tool, period.
I have mac, snap on, matco, hazet, wurth/zebra, gearwrench, and husky pro/stanley (same as mac)
I like the mac/stanley/husky pro sockets the best. For ratchets the flex head snap on 1/4" and 3/8" take the cake as the most versatile and quality ratchet. I actually prefer gearwrench for wrenches, snap on and mac open to easy, westward are actually better, but gearwrench I have had better luck with. Hazet are decent wrenches, but not top notch. For sockets I like stanley/mac/husky pro.
Tool box, I have an offshore stainless model from costco, honestly, its not that bad. and it looks real nice, but its not pro.
