Craftsman if you want nice tools at a cheap price imo, otherwise snap-on for sure.

We use SK here in the chemical plant. They are great.


I use Sunex sockets at home. They are all chromoly impact sockets. I have metric and standard from 1/8" to 1 7/8" and 5mm to 38mm 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2" drive. I paid the same money for the entire master socket set as i would have for a 3/8 drive metric snap on set.

I use snap on and kobalt ergo ratchets. Ratchets are 1 place that the expensive stuff does make a difference.


Yeah I bought all Sunex 1/2" impact sockets and they are fantastic.

kobalt tools are great and easy to swap out when they break

For anything other than cars.

I'm still partial to Matco more than crapon.

I've never owned anything matco
I've had Mac and Snap-on stuff


Ima check the pawn shops sometimes this week, there's always snap on, Mac, and matco around here for prob 50% less then retail




Also anyone ever have a Mac break on them? If their warranty is no questions asked, got a broke Mac tool cart I've been meaning to get fixed... I kinda dropped it out the bed of my truck :/

My personal go around with Stanley. Good prices when on sale ( really good) but I can't keep the ratchets for very long. The gears strip and/or stop catching. But, life time wwarranty. Got a $350 set for $120. Every year they go on sale like that. (iirc, was like 65% off or some shit)
