I own probably 60-70% SO. Mostly because I always have had a reliable dealer. I own a good amount of Mac, Matco, Cornwell and SK from times when I had good dealers for said brand. Almost all craftsman I own has been shuffled to truck tool box.

Craftsman, Snap On, Gearwrench, Ingersoll Rand, Bendpak, Matco, Kobalt, Carlisle, Lisle, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Bosch, Makita, Knipex, Klein, Fluke, Harbor Freight, Rigid, SawStop, Powermatic, Festool, Woodpeckers, Starrett, Napa, SK, etc. I've got lots of different brands honestly. Most of my sockets are US made Craftsman, and most of my combination wrenches are American Craftsman Professional. The majority (80%) of my ratchets are Snap On Dual 80 because I love them. My table saw is a Sawstop professional cabinet saw, and most of my stationary power tools (band saw, jointer, drill press) are Powermatic. I've got a mix of DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita and Bosch power tools, although most of the newer stuff has been Milwaukee as I really love their newer stuff. I love my festool sanders and router and frankly feel they are the best I can easily find. I've filled gaps in my collection with assorted stuff, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I've got a bunch of harbor freight stuff, particularly stuff that I take to work with me (I work in law enforcement, not turning wrenches). I prefer American or European stuff but I've got Asian stuff too where it makes sense. I'm not particularly brand loyal and enjoy some of the finer specialty tools from several companies. At some point I really want to try a couple tools from Mafell, but yikes are they spends!

Just hand tools, like ratchets sockets wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, torque wrenches, etc. No electric or air "power" tools, no chain falls or fancy stuff like hydraulic wrenches & such. Bound to open a drawer of the boxes and find something not on the list, though. It's a variety. :bounce:

Tons of USA craftsman stuff, Allen, Armstrong,KD , Danher era Napa, American made Husky, American made Kobalt, Williams, SK, tons of Klien, Ridgid, channellock Older USA made Stanley, power tools by Milwaukee, porter cable, Makita, ridgid, Bosch, and some oddball brands like Great Neck, Fuller, Olympia.

I mentioned coo on this stuff not to be a coo snob but because their is a difference in the quality. I do own some Chinese tools;Husky and Kobalt as well as many of my power tools.
