Tools!

[AJ]

WooT! What fixes your DSM?

Craftsman - Don't cost an arm and a leg and easy to replace when they break, which has never happened.

Snap-On, When I bought most of my stuff years ago Snap-On was the "shitz". I really liked the quality of their stuff back then and I wanted to stay with one tool man, instaed of paying three different guys every week.

Craftsman. If I worked at a shop and used them every day I would buy some top shelp stuff. But since I don't work at a shop, Craftsman does everything I need them to, and they're easy to replace when they break, which has happened. I've been through at least three or four 3/8 drive rachets in the past 3 years or so. Each one I've returned without a problem. Bottom line is I can't justify spending twice as much for a set of tools, when the cheaper stuff works, and is still garaunteed forever.

Where is the all of the above option? I have a lot of craftsman but I also Beleive you can't beat some of the more expencive tools for comfort. I can pull alot harder on my snap on ratchet with its round grip than craftsmans square design. Its also easier to slide pipe over as well.

Craftsman. Cheaper than others and a lifetime warranty. I haven't broken one craftsman tool yet. This includes using my 4ft breaker bar on my 3/8 drive rachet with all I can muster for power. My tools are also in the garage so they get damn cold in the winter.

Craftsman...reasonable prices and when they break, which they sometimes do, it is very easy to get them replaced no questions asked. I was surprised though, my 3/8" ratchet held up to my 3-foot breaker bar. I have broken other "lifetime guarantee" tools and it was always a pain in the ass and a run-around to get them replaced, not to mention it was never resolved within the day.

snap on here... never broke a tool from them so far...i love them but idk craftsman is awsome too i have some craftsman tools

[Jakey]

Craftsman: Affordable Quality with a great warranty


Does anyone have any experience with Cornwell tools? I've seen a few of their trucks around and have never heard of them.

[JiN]

How come girlfriend isnt one of the choices?

[Emcee gsxtc]

craftsman mostly when i have some how afforded it

stanley when its two in the morning and walmart is the only place open

we have gone through a lot of tools both snap on and craftsmen you just cant have someone my size cranking a 7 mm, on the built turbo cav motor when we put that in, we averaged 3 broken tools a day, but anything less than lifetime guaranteed goes bye bye fast, on my gsx right now we have a broken tools bucket that includes Thorsen and a bunch of other cheap brands my 2 cents

[Goat Blower]

Craftsman of course. I do have a few specialty Snap On tools that come in handy once in a while. And I get some sockets and adapters from Checker because they're close by and they also have a lifetime warranty. I used to break 1/2 to 3/8th drive adapters all the time til I ponied up for a full set of 1/2 drive metric sockets. They handle 600 ft/lbs+ nicely.

What ever the tool bitch brings me!

[1Fst14B]

ALL of the above, except stanley, and Macco?

Oh yeah it can. I am stronger with my breaker bar than my impact at 120 psi.

[1Fst14B]

I have to go with Snap-On for most of mine. I have Mac, Craftsman, Snap-On and some cheap tools in my Snap-On box. For specialty tools and electronic tools I go with Mac or Snap-On. I have broken almost every brand of tool listed (by the way you forgot SK Tools). No tool is invincible. I use air tools, ratchets, screwdrivers and a huge assortment of pliers and snap ring pliers.

As far as boxes go, I love my Snap-On box. The more weight you put in the drawers, the easier they slide in. If it were for my home garage it would be something like a Craftsman or Husky or something else that's cheaper. But at work, I make my living out of my toolbox so I need something that will hold up and retain it's value. If I want to sell my box right now, I could get most if not all of what I bought it for.

I have mostly craftsman. You can find some great deals on Ebay. I do use stanley ratchets though, they look exactly like a snap-on, but aren't quite as smooth. Lifetime guarantee at fleet farm/walmart too. If I were using them all the time I would get mostly Mac. The Snap-on ratches do have smaller teeth, so they will ratchet in a tight spot when some others won't. They also have thin walled sockets which fit in some tight spots, but tend to break more easily. SK makes the best sockets I have seen as far as strength.

I have craftsman and kennedy boxes. The price was right on the craftsman. My brother-in-law just got a steeltek box from Sam's Club, it is bad ass!! Stainless steel , 40" wide with ball bearing slides and taller than me for under $1k! I really want one.

You need a better impact, mine does 600 ft/lbs at 120 psi. I can get more with a breaker bar, but even they can break above that.

[MustGoFaster]

Craftsman, cause I'ant paying for them.
