[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8704574, member: 679555"] Was wondering what your guys' opinion was on some useful tools and brands. I'm always looking for hidden gem tools at garage sales, estate sales, or 2nd hand stores. I'm mainly hoping to focus on brands which are mostly guaranteed to be of worthwhile quality, so brands that are hit and miss I'm only interested in certain product line names. I'll start off on a few obvious ones. Mitutoyo - Any measuring devices Fluke, Keithley, HP, Siglent, Agilent, Keysight, B&K Precision, Rohde & Schwartz - Electronic measurements, testing, and power supplies Hakko, Quick, Atten, JBC - Soldering or rework stations. Hilti - Drills and impact drivers Greenlee - Crimpers, cutters, electrician tools Nichicon, JamiCON, Panasonic, Ruby - Capacitors Omron - Electronic switches Panasonic, LG, Samsung, Toshiba, Sanyo - Lithium cells Maglite - Flashlights Mattco, Snap-on, Mac - Sockets and wrenches FLIR - Thermal imaging Fiskars - Hand tools and gardening Honda - Small engines Morse, Starrett - Milling, blades, taps, and bits Maybe the list will be a good reference once it's big enough. Any suggestions about brands that ooze superior quality in a certain field? Will be adding more as they're suggested or as I think of them. Feel free to rip the brands if you've had a bad experience as well, that's what the thread is about. [S]Briggs & Stratton - Small engines[/S] (Quality has gone downhill recently) [/QUOTE]
