IMHO, Lowes made a huge mistake when they replaced their Kobalt tool line with Craftsman (Crapman.) Now and then you can still find a Kobalt tool / tool set, but the issue is, where do you bring it back if it breaks? A lifetime warranty is useless if there's no way to get a replacement.
I know good tools. I was a professional auto tech for many years, and most of the tools in my tool chest are from $nap-On.
