What tool brands do you own?

[Diesel-Mech]

[Duct Tape Man]

Mostly Craftsman, but I also have collections/toolboxes with the following in them:

Snap-On
Proto
Plomb
Armstrong
Wright

I have piles of mixed tools with different makers too, but too few for me to say I have a "collection" of them.

 

[57JoeFoMoPar]

Most of my rachets and sockets are Proto or older USA made Craftsman. I have some S-K, Pittsburgh, Williams sockets, and a Mustang and Easco rachet as well.

Wrenches are mostly Proto or vintage Craftsman, but I have a bunch of Fastenal, Blue Point and a few Snap-On and Plombs mixed in for good measure. Racheting boxed ends are Husky and Kobalt.

Pliers are total mix of Klein, no-names, Craftsman, Vice-grip, Channellock, Pittsburgh and Knipex.

I try to buy good quality tools without spending a fortune. My Proto and Craftsman tools especially have served me well for many years and will do so for many more

 

[daddy2coull]
