I like Craftsman. When I break a Craftsman piece, I drive a mile to Sears and the replace it on the spot, no questions asked.

[deadghost]

Never started a project with out it, first tool I use before all my other tools.
*SNIP*

[Melonburst]

Ingersoll Rand Air tools because the titanium series are the best and Snap-On hand tools. I love my IR 2135QTIMAX. An army of Harbor Freight Low profile jacks since they're cheap. Hypertherm plasma cutter. An assortment of Miller TIG's/Mig's.


PS. Illadelph>>>>RooR =]

^^^ haha that is awesome. sometimes i feel like roor's are to way to pricey for what they are. But I use mostly snapon out of a nap sack in my trunk. its always good to keep a full set of tools on you just in case.

harbor freight!

Truth

Never started a project with out it, first tool I use before all my other tools.

I like your style :bow:

[nissanfreak317]

Hmmmm, mostly Craftsman. But I have an Ingersoll Rand impact gun, Clarke Mig welder, and some cheapo tools like Harbor Freight for certain things. I think pics of setups would be appropriate here, I'll have to scrounge some up.

[Infamax]

For things like wrenches and ratchets or things I use regularly, I buy Craftsman, for their warranty. Random tools that I sparsely use, I usually buy at Harbor Freight.

[bataangpinoy]

husky, stanley. i dont like the fit or finish on craftsman tools. and for power tools, dewalt.

[Bushido]

Kobalt, Lowe's house brand.

Lifetime replacement garuntee.

[Broadfield]

Work: 95% Matco - 5% Snap-On and MAC

Home: 95% Snap-On - 5% Matco and MAC

[finesses240]

Whole Family uses Snap-on only.

[sharpe_corners]

Princess auto and cdn tire, walk in free replacement. Amazing. Princess Auto is cdn version of harbour freight, just a bit less shitty.

craftsman always

only time i break them is buy doing stupid shit, and like ^^^^ said, i drive a mile down the street and just get a new one

[memphis180sx]

snap on and craftsman, box is snap on ,wrenches,impact sockets,impact, and 3/8 cordless impact are snap on the rest is craftsman the best impact so far is the snap on mg725 never has failed me once on getting bolts loose just wish i had a bigger air compressor lol

[Shadowhunter]

Working on cars high is like asking to be on 1000 ways to die. I enjoy the cannabis myself but you have to have respect for a 2800lb+ car sitting on top of your head much less all the tools you are working with and shit that can go wrong. But on to topic.

I use A set of All-Trade tools that I've had for like 7 years as my primary tool box. I also use a mixture of craftsman,gearwrench and harbor freight. Had good luck with harbor freight so far you just have to pick and choose what you actually end up buying with them.

[jesse_s13]

craftsmans and some snap on and harbor freight.

hahaha

This wins^

I use Snap-on

[ManoNegra]

I own mostly cheap stuff: crafstman and HF
I work with pretty decent stuff though: crasftman, snap on, mitutoyo
I also have mechanic friends that I can borrow specialized tools from

[Walperstyle]

Somewhere for insurance purposes I have pictures of all my tools. Collection is worth probably worth more then most members cars, and I still don't have a good welder or air-compressor.

I use to like that until I broke several 'breaker bars'. The warranty is great, but a lot of craftsman parts are overseas crap now. Frankly the gas prices for going to replace stuff like that adds up. I'd like to have tools that can take 100ft/lbs. I always look to buy old tools now, made in the 60's and 70's in the USA.

I have a wrench from the 1910's that still works good.

[Tearlessj]

A mixture of older craftsman, sk, gear wrench, and one snap on ratchet.

Thats it. I'm not a snap-on fan boy.

what kind of tool do you use with that spider III?

oh, and craftsman.

[boost addict]

Craftsman, mac, and gearwrench. My neighbor just picked up the Mac route in town so whenever I need something I don't have I just run and grab it off the truck:D best thing thats ever happened in my neighborhood. I still cant believe the thousands+ dollar packages of tools he gets. Crazy stuff

[Shift n Drift]

work- snap on, blue point, blackhawk, vise grip, mac, harbor freight, and 2 craftsmen wrenches

home- snap on, harbor frieght, craftsmen, duralast

[onehundredoctane]

Craftsman, Harbor Freight, and Kobalt.

The Harbor Freight's are the best because I usually end up having to modify the open end/ box end wrenches to get to tight spots, esp with my turbo manifold/ turbo set up.

[imput1234]

Got my big ass 10lb hammer, thats all the tool I need. Fixes everything.

[Fearell]

At home all Snap On:

[ManoNegra]

was chatting the other day with a friend who is a mechanic
was returning his Snap On torque wrench I had borrowed and was
telling him I was thinking of getting one
he recommended this site:

thetoolwarehouse.net

and this torque wrench:
http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/images/Product/medium/PRE-C3FR250F.jpg

Precision Instruments C3FR250F 1/2" Dr. Split Beam Click Type Torque Wrench with Flex Head - 40 to 250 Lb. Ft. (http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/p-4617-precision-instruments-c3fr250f.aspx)

the same that snap on puts their logo on and sells for double the price

[91sil80]

i use whatever i got, i hate buying tools. to expensive but you gotta do it. most of my stuff is craftsman. snap on is a pain where im at since they dont realize my town is on a map. also i heard craftsman changed their return policy so now they only give refurbished tools for warranty claims. dont know if that tru or not. my buddy works in a body shop and he has about 60k worth of tools.......nuts!!!!

[aalbert240]

I use craftsmen and search ebay for the deals on snap on n matco tools .. 2grand for a simple tool box at snap on is just to much wen u can get a garage full at sears lol

[RoXiE.S14]

I have very old tools that always break when I use them.
