    My new technician grade tools.

    The advantage I see in going with one brand is warranty replacement, especially if you don't have a truck pull up once a week. Who is the OEM for SK pliers?

    My first trip to Harry Epstein

    Multi-Bit Driver

    Another + to Enderes, heavy duty and American made. I've also had good experience with Megapro and the new Channellock 6 in 1, the later for only a few months, but it held up well. What are your requirements? Type of bits, nut driver option, ratcheting (my least favorite) etc.. ?

    Tools from the old world

    Corded Multi Tool

    Same here. If you want a rotary tools (Dremel) I can recommend a Black and Decker RTX. Got mine with the accessory kit and swapped the chuck for the Dremel model.

    Xcelite Tool Case with tools

    The two pliers in the middle look like there were made by Wilde Tool. The second from left looks like the G250 angle nose pliers possibly zinc coated and the ones next to them is the G270 tongue and grove pliers. Very nice tool set and the price is right :thumbup:
