For many things.. Craftsman tools are absolutely fine. Well, the older the Craftsman tool, the better off you are. Sears has been cheesing out in a big way assuming that the Chines tools with their name on it is worth the gamble that you wont bring it back. My dads tools that he bought as a teenager (he's 75 now) are more robust and 'Grab' better then the tool s I bought 30+ years ago.
There are some tools that are worth dropping down the big bucks for.

I have expensive S@K flare nut wrenches. I have a Snap-On Double flare set. Some odd Pullers I have, I went with Lisle , S@K and Snap-On. My little mechanics pick.. Snap -on. I got tired of breaking the brittle ended Craftsman picks. They were happy to guarantee it but who needs to break it when you are in the middle of a job?

Snap on has a great 6 point wrench for Bleeder valves too. It is a tapered hex shape so it REALLY grabs onto the Bleeder on Calipers and Wheel cylinders.
