Sears Craftsman stuff, however, is not the quality it used to be. The American-made stuff is outsourced to Armstrong and is about the same quality level as Autozone or NAPA's house-brand tools (decent but not great) and the Chinese-made stuff is no better than Harbor Freight for twice the price.

I'd personally recommend Wiha (www.wihatools.com)for metric hex drivers. German made and absolutely the best quality you can get.
This site doesn't seem to have what I'm looking for, so since I just need the one long 8MM ball end, Sears is probably the next best choice. I actually have a few Napa tools and so far, they have worked well.
