Snap-On and matco Tools. IR for air tools, and blue-point rool cart / matco 11 drawer box. At home i use all these and if it's craftsman, it's a jack and jackstands. Probably about 8K or so worth of tools.
Ebay is the SHIZNIT btw! I found alot of stuff cheap, and if it breaks, lifetime warrenty
MAC
craftsman, dewalt, and stanley's will do the job...
MAKITA 18V CORDLESS IMPACT/DRILL/LIGHT FOR TEH WIN
i use those and matco 3/8 swivel 8-19mm most often. i couldn't live without em >_<
I use alot of snap-on, a little matco and even less mac. I do use craftsman for some things. I dont buy per brand but rather which tool does the best job and is comfortable to use and typically snap-on fits the bill. Ive got well over 35k invested so far and still need new stuff all the time.
i work at the ymca and hte only tool i need is my 3'' boy hole scout.
ive got a ****ty blue point cart, some craftsman stuff, nesco 3/8 electric impact and 1/2 inch air gun, some sunex, mac, harbor frieght, sears, sk stuff, but working on getting more snap on stuff and a bigger box and non **** cart.
i will say best bang for the buck stuff if you dont have access to the tool truck (which i've been using for like 4 months now and trying to buy nice stuff so i dont have to worry about it ) , go to lowes and get kobalt boxes, and just stick with craftsman. as much as i hate it, the prices arent bad, sears is everywhere, the warranty is nice. i've also been a fan lately of if its something im really not putting a lot of force on, i just get the cheap crap. go to harbor freight and buy the nice harbor freight stuff. its still cheap as hell, but for screwdrivers, prybars, extensions, magnetic trays, wire wheels, extension chords, stuff like that that place is great. but any tool your going to actually use some force on, ratchets, power tools, sockets, specialty stuff, dont be a cheap ass.
also +1 on ebay. im goign to start shopping there more often.
