Snap-On, MAC, Craftsman

Mostly Snap-On and MAC, they are dealers at my work so i get a great discount and returns for broken tools are never an issue.

Most of the daily use tools are Westward (dont' laugh at me).

The specialty tools or the tools I use for the "good" jobs are mainly SK, Snap-On, or Craftman.

Those are just the wrenches, sockets etc. The screwdrivers, pliers etc. are mostly Klien.

My wife bought me Bench Top tool set and cabinet when we got married. I've only broken 1 wrench in 8 years. Most of my other stuff is Craftsman.

snap-on screwdrivers and 1/4'' sockets, blue point ratcheting end wrenches, sk 1/2'' sockets and the rest are part of a 30 year "hobby" of collecting tools

The majority of stuff in my toolbox are Husky. Wrenches, sockets, ratchets etc. Then I have some Westward sockets from an insurance company when the rest of my Husky stuff got ripped off. All my impact sockets are Westward except for my 5 biggest ones which are Gray. Mostly Snap On air tools, with some CP and IR. Snap On screwdrivers. Channel Lock pliers for t&g, crimpers, side cutters. Mac nut busters and filter pliers. Vise grips (need more), Blue Point hammers.

I've slowly been getting out of Husky and leaning more towards Craftsman. More selection.

But if I got a ten dollar per hour raise tomorrow, I'd be raiding the Snap On truck like a kid in a candy store.
