What brand of tool do you own?

Thought this would be a interesting topic here. What brand of tools do you purchase and why?

For hand tools I buy Craftsman. For the price and the ease of replacement if somthing breaks to me there is no better deal. I wired a garge up for a Snap on rep and still the prices were to high in my opion.

For power tools I go with Dewalt used to have Milwaukee but Dewalt seems to hold up better and I can swap batteries with co-workers if need be as they all use Dewalt.

A lot of my hand tools are Craftsman. The rest are a mish-mosh...SnapOn, Indestro, SK, etc. Power tools...mostly PorterCable, some Dewalt, Bosh, Milwaukee and Craftsman.

I usually use Craftsman, but when you really need something it's either 2 in the morning or you're in BFE...

Craftsman here, when I can help it. I get a lot of Stanley, too, because, as was pointed out, when it's 2 am and I am in BFE, that's what Wal-Mart has. I have a couple of things Matco, because when I had a garage, the tool guy that drove the Matco truck was a friend of mine, so I got a few things from him every once in a while.

My professional tools are Snap-On. My home tools are Master Mechinic, Thornsen, and Craftsman. My pride and joy is 90th. edition Snap-On Harley Davidson tool box. This baby is immaculate and I take a lot of rift from the Wife about this other beauty being in the house. March 23, will mark our 25th wedding anniversery.
