Every tool in my garage is Craftsman. Can't beat the no-questions-asked lifetime warranty and the price is not too bad for the great quality.

I bought a cheap Harbor Freight little rolling seat thing because it was only like $20. The wheels literally fell off within a month and I went to Sears and bought a Craftsman one for $50ish. Three years later the Craftsman seat is still perfect. You get what you pay for.

 

Craftsman

 

Sears = Craftsman...

 

craftsman rachet set , and misc other tools that my father has in the garage, usually more craftsman, some husky and other brands

 

Craftsman all the way. Snap on puts a little more into ergonomics, but Im not trying to spend that money. Plus you have to wait for the truck to come everytime you want some tools. Ill save my money and run over to sears when I break something.

 

LMAO... I didn't catch that.

 

Snap on ratchets. Nothing else holds up as well. I use Ebay frequently to buy them using a simple plan. I use the snapon online catalog and will pay up to 50% of the price new depending on the item.

If you want to save money, buy craftsman pro wrenches and craftsman sockets. Craftsman ratchets have let me down too many times at home, and i've been working with snapon daily for the past 7 years. -Gabe

 

Facom.....Their wrenches, how they break a bolt free without leaving so much as a mark.......

 

Iam a mechanic and have a little bit of all the majors but the best buy is SK. There are only 3 or 4 tool die makers out there. Like Matco, Mac, and Stanley are the same. But if you do not do it for a living anything is good with a lifetime garuntee

 

i use craftsman

 

Were is a good place to buy tools? Any good dealers that have Snap-on or S-K?

 

Craftsman. Plus these should be on sale because of the holidays.

 

you can either buy them online or try to find a truck which visits most dealers and independent shops, but won't make much sense opening an account on a truck unless you make weekly payments.

 

I've been anything but pleased with craftsman lately, it used to be convenient that they were right next door to me but that store closed down. Now I've got a bit of a drive to go replace hardware which at times seems like it's made out of tough plastic.

Another gripe I've got with them is that twice lately I've been told that I would have to mail a broken part in to get it replaced because they only had complete sets of the tools I needed at the time.

 

I would suggest Craftsmen tools for the basic items and Snap-On tools for the specialty items. I use Craftsmen tools because like everyone states their easy to get at your local Sears and OSH. If you have the money then snap-on all the way but im not trying to pay $150 for 3 screwdrivers. If you haven't really starting buying tools then I could see you spending $700-800 right of the back for a good set of craftsmen (DEPENDING ON WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR).. Don't forget the tool box (BALL BEARING) and a good set of air tools.

GOOD LUCK...
