Question. Which tool company did you decide to go with? I Would love to go with Snap-on but money is a issue. All you expert tool pushers help me out. Thanks.

 

snap on all the way, but then again i am a technician at a dealership. i also use matco which has great quality tools at a cheaper price. craftsman professional series are also great. to sum things up, tools are expensive, especially if your a tool junky

 

I always liked husky had a set for the longest time and when my 7 year old ratchet broke it only took a phone call and 2 days to get a new one with no hassle.

 

You usually get what you pay for. I prefer Snap-On and Mac. Thats usually what shops use. You can mix and match to save money. For example, all of my rachets are Mac, but my socket sets are craftsman. Im my opinion theres a larger gap in rachet performance compared to sockets.

Craftsman isnt a bad compromise, but Mac and Snap-On are both better.

 

I have mainly Matco with some Snap On and Craftsman at work. I have Craftsman stuff at home and bring stuff from work as needed if I dont have it there already.

 

craftsman

 

Craftsman!!

 

mix and match could definitely save you some $$$ also check out the specials matco puts out.

 

There are a few good tool manufactures that come to mind: Craftsman, Snap On, Cornwell, MAC and Matco. Williams and Plumb were once highly regarded in which they are now vintage tools.

They all are fine tools. Some more pricey than others. The main thing is the hassle
that you go through trying to exchange a tool when it breaks.

For my money... I'll go with Craftsman because I can walk into Sears anytime
to exchange a tool without any questions.

 

Our heavy equipment mechanics/oilers all use Mac.

For home, Crapsman is cheap and the fact that you can walk into any Sears for any reason and getting lifetime replacements is hard to beat.

I have a Snap-on digital torque wrench though - love it so much I'm gonna will it to my favorite kid when I go........

 

Craftsman! For the money, Cornwell air tools are great.

 

I try and get everything craftsman cuz of the lifetime warranty...

 

The good stuff Harbor Freight

Laughing at the thread title. Shouldn't it be "To the do it your selfers!". You forget the "it" and it becomes a masturbation thread.
