Craftsman Mechanics Toolkit : Which to buy?

[Gautam]

Hi,
Jimberg:
I'm a little confused. I went to Sears.ca and that's where I got those pictures from, so how can they not be authentic Craftsman? As for a $120USD, well that's about $190CDN (way over my budget). I need something affordable (seeing how I don't do anything hardcore just yet).

Jetuomi:
Hehe, dude, I was just at Crappy Tire like 1/2 hr ago, and I noticed the 177pc kit for sale for $100.

Thing is, how would you compare Craftsman to Mastercraft? I'm pretty sure Craftsman has grown to become a crowd favourite over the years, so it wouldn't surprise me if most of the $ I'm paying is for the brand name.

So, should I just save $$$ and go with the 177pc MasterCraft kit?

(For those in US, Canadian Tire is like PepBoys or AutoZone or whatever), and MasterCraft is their inhouse brand.

Bye!
