As far as Husky vs. Craftsman goes, the sockets are of equal quality, however Craftsman ratchets are just plain garbage. I swear by my Husky ratchet handles -- as solid as the day I bought them 7 years ago, with medium-heavy duty use. Craftsman ratchets develop lots of play almost immediately out of the box. The rest of the tools are about similar quality. It's more finish and feel which makes it personal preference. There are different grades of both sets, so get what feels good in your hand. The replacement policy at Home Depot is fine, but you have to deal with morons and lead them through the whole process. Example, I had to replace some allen wrenches and HD repackaged the SAE sizes as Standard. I had to give a tool lesson to the moron cashier who kept stating they were different from each other. You could have the same problem at a Sears store if you go on the right day.
