I bought a socket set at Sears Canada a couple decades ago. It served me well but now the case plastic hinges have come apart and parts are not secure within the case.Prices are generally better in the USA but I am not sure what is the best place to get something similar that will have a compact and durable case and not too expensive.I need:Metric + Imperial ratchet and socket 3/8" and 3/4" selectionsScrewdriver and bits would be a plusMost of all I want it to come well organized in a case that will last and be easy to transport.

Sears Craftsman or just find a nice tool box.

For some who seldom use their tools go to Harbor Freight for low priced, but completely usable tools.

If they are Craftsman tools, aren't they lifetime guarantee? Just buy a tool box and get free replacements of any worn tools.

I have a few different sets but I have a set that I keep in my truck with a little bit of everything made by Kobalt sold by Lowes. I probably use this set more that anything else I have. It's nice to take the case to whatever I'm working on instead of grabbing a handful of sockets. I believe they have a lifetime warranty too. I would avoid Harbor Freight unless you buy some box end wrenches or a hammer, etc. Anything with moving parts doesn't seem to last. Actually, my torque wrench from Harbor Freight is great and was very accurate when I had it checked at Discount Tire with their torque checker.
