Craftsman's prices are pretty reasonable.

I bought a Bosch Drill, and I love it..... I think there are cheaper, but its still nice....

for sockets and hand tools go with Craftsman....Its hard to beat their reliability or the no questions asked waranty

power tools - The big names are consistantly good...(Porter Cable, Makita, DeWalt, etc...)

Bits - Irwin ( I love this set also)

One word of advise....Dont buy Craftsman Power tools, the batts. go bad in like a year, and then the tool is useless (batts cost more than the tools)

My gf's dad broke a Craftsman screwdriver from a tool set he's had since he got his first car when he was 16. He's fourty-something now. He took it to Sears and they honored the lifetime warranty. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

Atleast they honoured the lifetime warranty. Good thing they Craftsman is still in business.

I will never own any other hand tool besides a snap-on. Quality is unmatched and there actually is a difference. It is not worth the mark up in cost however if you find deals on it used or discounts its worth it. I have been using Dewalt drills for a few years now and they have been holding up great, they xrp drills anyways. Craftsman sucks nutz. Jet makes really good machines I have used a few in my auto shop. Ingersall Rand makes some killer air tools and snapon has some pretty decent air grinders available. There is a few tools that I would get from cheap place but not many, When it comes to replacing and fixing tools, The snap on truck comes directly to my business....

I ran over my DeWalt drill. Granted it was only one tire and a cavalier, but still. Black and Decker makes pretty decent entry level stuff. My recip saw held up nicely to mud and water around the pipes I was cutting.

Craftsman is probably the best for hand tools. A socket got stuck on a wrench, literally would not come off. They gave me a new wrench and socket.

The Best Tools Snap-on-excellent warranty put have to call Snap-on guy or wait til next time he comes by to get replcement.

Best Value-Craftsman-probably easist and best warranty, for ease of replacement.

Power tools-Dewalt-Milw.

The new 36v Dewalt stuff rocks. **** drill will twist your arm off, saw will cut through anything, but heavy as hell

What if these tools start running around raping our horses and riding off on our womenz?
