Craftsman, Sears are easy to find and they have always been great about replacing tools with thier warranty. I think that is all we have, maybe one or two snap ons

Whatever tools I can get my hands on = Other. And if I could vote twice, I'd say craftsman. Lifetime warranty Baybee!!

Yes Husky is HD. I have never bought Husky before. Craftsman has more longevity I guess..

i chose snap-on but i doubt many of you will considering you probly aint got that much money to put into tools, but considering my vo-tech school has unlimited funding we have ALL snap-on, work great but expensive as ****! our two toolboxs cost round $25k, got well over $400k in tools. yea its insane, but you can't break those SOB's either! now, lets take a look at what MY budget can afford....Buffalo, lmao! got a better chance of getttin the job done with wet toilet paper

1/8" anything, 1/4" & 1/2" Craftsman, S&K and Duro, 3/4" PAC, Dwatonna, Protool.
Have a collection of wrenches and drives in about five other brands that I group as China/India.
Considered the junk set: China deforms and India breaks (oatmeal metal)

They all have been the same degree of usefullness over time
whether back when I stored them in tuppaware containers,
or later when I got some Sears rollaround toolchests.
For $25k I would want something that got at least 15mpg and pulled my trailer.
