    As long as you stay away from their Mastercraft tools. They’re terrible, good thing they give refunds without a fight.

      Never had am issue, still have all my Mastercraft and Mastercraft Prodessional series tools, although I bought the majority of them in the 90s and early 2000s. Maybe quality was better back then?

      Mastercraft has stepped up their game too, especially the maximum. They are rebranding Wiha screwdrivers and gearwrench stuff for example, really nice quality for a good price.

        I agree, there is some crap, but overall for most home use the tools are fine. If it’s something you use every day, I would buy a better brand, but for occasional use they are decent for the price in my opinion.

          I use Mastercraft sockets ratchets and wrenches daily on heavy equipment and industrial. In the past 10 years I have broken one socket and zero wrenches. Couple of ratchets. But those were well abused with a 4ft pipe on em.

          Allen keys and torx bits/ sockets I’d stay away from though.
