What tool brands do you own?

[Diesel-Mech]

I know similar threads like this have been covered in the past but most of those were more about what brand in your favorite or what do you have the most of.

My list is going to exclude the OEM for tools that have been relabeled so to simplify things I'm just going off what ever name is on the tool, also I'm only including mechanics tool brands.

Heres my list in no particular rank, rating or order.

Cornwell
Blue Point
Silver Eagle
Knipex
Mayhew
S&K
Cormack
Kobalt
Wiha
Lisle
H&M Aero
MAC
Ingersoll Rand
Armstrong
Craftsman
Matco
Benchtop Pro
PB Swiss
Wright
Cummins
Proto
Williams
Vise Grip
Snap-on
Irwin
Witte
Zephyr
Can-Pro
Gear Wrench

Thats everything as far as I can remember.
It should be interesting to see what kind of brand variety and diversity everyone has.
