Mostly Craftsman here.....bang for the buck...I am not a professinal mechanic so they are goode enough to use under my shade tree. and when I do break them they replace them..just not as willingly as they did in the past. I did visit a Kmart about a month ago.I wanted to buy a diehard battery for my explorer.seeing diehard and craftsman tools there just didnt seem right but its convieniant and open alot hours

I have a lot of snapon/blue ponit tools I also have quite a few, MAC, Crafstman Profesional. I have a cornwell tool box

Due to price issues pretty much all of my tools are husky including my tool chest and the in bed tool box I have in my truck, all my power tools are ryobi and am slowly ugrading them to rigids, I also have some craftsmen hand tools.

I own Mac, Matco, Craftsman, and Snap-on. At my shop I have all kinds, but at work its 90-95% Snap-on. I buy Snap-on to replace the others at work, then take the others home. I was sick of taking a tool bag full home every night. As for the salesman, all my Snappy guys have been awsome, the others not so good. Like they say "There is a differance". I have also been a Tech for 12 yrs, but due to back problems I am starting to think about a new line of work.

You know something: That couldn't be any more true. Take something as simple as a Snap-On wrench, any size, metric; SAE, doesn't matter. The way the body of the wrench is shaped is easier on the hands than say a CraftsMan wrench of the same size. The body of a CraftsMan wrench is boxy. Sometimes, you just find yourself taking quick brakes here & there to get the feeling back in your hands. Prolly just me.

I also used to have the "brick". My father-in-law and I shared it, we just recently upgraded to the MODIS.

I have a standard box, now my father-in-law has the commerative Dale Sr. Box. The big one they were takng orders before he died. He wasn't sure if he was going to be able to get it after the crash. But, he did, and he is very glad as he was a huge fan.

Same here about the hands.

I have Snap-On tools in the garage and love them. I do have a small craftsman collection in the cross box of my truck. I preffer to not use the craftsman because they pretty much suck and hurt my hands but in a pinch they get the job done. But if I know I'll be needing tools for the next day of work I'll pull some Snap-On's out of my box and put them in the front seat of my truck (Currently happening right now). The only time I get craftsman tools is when I need a special offset or need to modify a tool to get the project done. I'll modify/destroy craftsman's for one time use but never think of doing it to a Snap-On.

wherever i break a craftsman it gets replaced with snap on when money allows....
