Default Tools: Whats your favorite brand

I love Snap-On stuff. We have a truck that comes to our shop each week and i dunno. I guess thats why i don't care about anything else. That and they just seem to feel better than like a craftsman or one of those POS autozone tools.

We have a few matco things but they dont' nearly seem to work as well all the time.

Whats your fav

Snap on and craftsman....love the lifetime warranty on craftsman, and they're easy to get replaced at Sears when you need something ASAP.

craftsman tools are pretty nice... I have a few of them. I just like how smooth snap-on tools feel. Well that and the soft grip rachets are bitchen

Craftsman because I work at Sears so I get a discount, and I'm there all the time anyway.

I'm partial to Facom but they are expensive. So 95% of my tools are Craftsman.

Craftsman for hand tools
DeWalt for Battery powered tools
Milwaukee for electric tools

Jacks and such I tend to vary on.
