All the Snap On and Craftsman ads stress the lifetime warranties on the tools and I suppose this applies to the tool actually breaking. Can you get replacements if the tool is just loose or the fit of sockets is sloppy?
Anyone with experience under what conditions you get free replacement tools?

Generally my experiance is that Craftsman replaces anyting because the sales staff is too dumb to know any thing. SnapOn, Mac, Matco on the otherhand hava a little attitude.
But you want flex sockets. I have 3/8" drive set of Craftsman Metric flex sockets. I also have a set 3/8" drive set Snap-On Inch frex sockets. I hate the Craqftman flex sockets with a pasion. They are the most useless flex sockets I have ever used. They are loose and break easily. They are so bad that I actually become happy when I break one so that I can replace them with Snap-On's. Now maybe they got better, Mine are about 20 years old. I would offer to sell them to you but I dont want to make an enemy.
Not that I am a Snap-On addict and Craftsman hater. I like my Craftsman wrenches much more than my slippery thin shiny Snap-On's. The truth is to me no one company holds the best of all tools title. But in the case of flex sockets and also in hex bit sockets Snap-On is worth the tripple money.
