Mostly snap-on. Have lot of craftsman, and a little bit of mac tools also. About $12000-$14000 at least sitting in my garage.
Same here quite a bit more Mac and Snap-on than craftsmen.

Only tools I have are a China cresent wrench and a Trojan condom....if you can't fix it #u(k it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


Most of my tool are Craftsman. I have a few snap-on wrenches that I really like, and then just an odd collection of stuff.

I want a set of the wrenches with the 6 point socket on the end.

Oh and I think I need a bigger hammer.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]


edit: forgot this, I hav a set of popular mechanics allen sockets that are great! They are one of the better intestments, tool wise, that I ahve made. They were like $8 at Wal Mart for a set.

craftsman everything, except my ratchet wrenches. They are from gear wrench. About 1/2 the price of craftsman, and also excellent quality.

Same here - I use mostly Husky, a decent amount of Craftsman, and some Snap-Ons that I can "afford."

I use Gedore tools..... German made industrial tools.

They dont seem to be sold/popular in the US, since I dont see anyone else using them!

I use Mastercraft (canadian tire version of Craftsman), some snap-on (screwdrivers, pliers, etc), popular mechanics (sockets, ratchets etc), and otherwise most any cheap thing I can get for the moment .. gradually building up my inventory of good tools. Haven't broken anything yet except one 3/8" drive PM rachet ..

I'm also gradually inheriting my fathers snap-on gear .. he was a heavy duty diesel mechanic for about 40 years and accumulated quite a stash of snap-on stuff [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I even have a 3/8" drive John Deere ratchet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I use Craftsman tools for the most part with some china specials here and there.
I also have a couple sets of gearwrenches I really like those.
