Industrial Tool Brands Rating

[jontar]

What Industrial Brands do you think are in the top ten. 1 is the best

1. Proto- probably the best ever

2.Williams -is snap-offs industrial line, some taiwan stuff in line

3.SK- somewhat of a 3 way ty with wright and armstrong

4. Wright - 3way ty

5. Armstrong - 3 way ty

6. Blackhawk (proto secondary line), just outside of top 5

7. Klein - In 7th only because they are mainly suited to electricians/powerlineman/hvac, limited socket/wrench selection even less in metric

8.Craftsman- maybe have once been a top 5, when tools were made in USA

9. Allen - has fallen down, with the line switching the mainly off shore.

10. Mastercraft- Canadian tire- not really an industrial brand, but you'd find the mastercraft branded gearwrenches and sockets in milwwright, welders and industrial elecctrician tool boxes.

If you're talking about CM Industrial, they should be tied with Armstrong since that's who makes them.

i wondered about splitting them into two catorgies at first, but then decided in the end to lump craftsman just one, i don't think their industrial line differs enough to be split unlike the proto / blackhawk / mac / stanley lines which are clearly different.
