At the "home shop" I have mostly Craftsman and some Snap-On and Matco. It is all good stuff.

The wrench set that I carry with me in the toolbox on my truck, I just bought a cheap set of Stanley wrenches and sockets. I think it was 64 bucks for the 201 piece set. Better than taking a chance of my 650 dollar set of Craftsmans walking off : ) I would be one unhappy "shade tree" mechanic!

Snap-on first then Mac tools then Matco, as long as it works when needed.

Snap on and Matco is great stuff but so is Craftsman and at way less cost. I have a collection of all of them. All have the same replacement warranty but good luck trying to find a Snap on or Matco dealer when you don't work at a shop. Sears is everywhere and they have tool sales quite often. I probably will never need to buy another hand tool but if I do it would be Craftsman. TCSS
