Let us know your favorite tool to use aswell.

I usually use Craftsman tools and Dewalts. Anything cordless is the way to go for sure.

Colbalt is a cheaper quality but, yet affordable.

It's what was given to me so I am not going to complain and when I break em there's no need to get mad!

Craftsman, all the way.

...don't mind the empty shelves, I was rearranging the garage.

babytiger · 10-26-2012, 09:47 AM

Craftsman, Snap-On, Harbor Freight and I'm sure some random Taiwan-ese stuff.

jeremywes · 10-26-2012, 01:00 PM

Mac and snap-on mostly but some craftsman (Back when they used to make good tools)

GMTool · 10-27-2012, 10:09 AM

I bought a good set of Craftsman tools back in the early 80's, still got em, still use em.

I use what I can afford. Some things have been given to me, most I bought. Depends on what it is and how often I'm going to use it.

As far as hand tools I have Craftsman, Stanley, Channellock, Snap On, Husky, Duralast, Great Neck, etc...

Power tools, Makita, Ryobi, Black and Decker, Milwaukee.

My 3 ton Craftsman floor jack blew a seal and didn't fit under the Camaro anyway so I bought a 3 ton low profile Torin from WalMart. Works great. I have Craftsman stands and ramps from WalMart or wherever.

With my mish mash of red headed step child tools I engine swapped my Chevy truck twice (including an LS 5.3L swap), lowered it, did the top end on an S10, a few hub assemblies on late model Chevrolets, numerous set of brakes, and countless other projects.

At home it's Craftsman, mainly.

The technicians at work use Snap-On. Super expensive IMO, but a tool truck stops at the shop for sales and delivery and they come with a strong warranty.
