That's some great variety you have in Indonesia! Do you rely on the internet or are there tool trucks and high end tools stores in Jakarta? I've never actually seen KTC or KoKen except on this forum.

[SuperCat]

Craftsman 50%
Gearwrench 15%
Stanley 10%
SK 5%
Channellock 5%
Snap-On 5%
other 10%

I've got a lot of misc. brands in the "other" group that I didn't list because I pick up stuff that I think is interesting at flea markets, garage sales, antique stores, etc. I don't normally consider those tools as "users," but I did pull out a big Plomb wrench last month to take off an old, rusted trailer ball. No problem! Old American iron still gets the job done after 70+ years.

The ones I listed are the ones I use and keep in my main toolbox.

 

[gtsgarage]

I’m very close to the same ratios as SuperCat above.

Hand tools -
Craftsman 55%
Gearwrench 20%
Stanley 5%
SK 5%
Channel lock 5%
Snap-On 2%
other 8%

As for power tools was recently a mix of Makita, Dewalt and Bosch but jumped in with both feet and now have 13 tools in the Milwaukee M12 line. This has led to adding a few cutting tools from Milwaukee and very impressed with initial quality. Keeping the old stuff as backups for now.

The balance is made up of brands like Cal-van, Lisle, Snap-on, Armstrong and some old brands like Wizard and Cross Country.

Oh, now that I think of it, I have a set of Brittool DOE whitworth wrenches and a bunch of old Gedore metric sockets.

Started with a large Husky Pro set then slowly upgraded my most used bits to:
Screwdrivers - PB Swiss and Wera
Sockets - Proto or Wright
Wrenches - Proto or Gedore
Adjustable and pipe wrenches - Irega (or channellock) and Ridgid
Hex keys - Wiha and Bondhus

Tekton
Milwaukee M12 and M18
Knipex
Channellock
Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Pro
