I inherited my Dad's Craftsman hand tool sets in 1978. They were even in Craftsman metal tool boxes. The Craftsman electric drill even has a metal housing. They're as good and accurate as the day he bought them. And I don't lend them to anyone. I do go to Harbor Freight for something special that I'll only use once or twice, so I'm rarely disappointed.
Last week, I went to Sears for a hand held jig saw. I needed to cut an inch off of a piece of plywood. The "expert" in the amazingly small tool section of the store didn't know what a jig saw was and when I found it myself and went to pay, he didn't know how to make change for a $50 bill. How the mighty have fallen.
