Tools, preferances what company.

[Digitalwave]

Craftsmen. I have a few Hazet tools too, they are top notch.

I did pick up a 10 piece metric open end wrench set at Home Depot (Husky) for $6 though. Normally $29 so I couldn't pass up the deal.

[Spaz]

craftsmen, its different from the stuff guys have tho...just as good. i have some snap stuff too, i won it all in a auto skills comp :)

[318daily]

Mostly Craftsman, and then of course some one offs from Harbor Freight, AutoZone, Husky, and generic crap from Big Lots :oops:

Ahh yeah I picked up a set of inverse torx sockets for my tranny for like $7 from Harbor freight... they are actually pretty nice. I bought a 6" gear puller too, it helped removed my subframe bushings.

stanley makes proto, and either MAC or MATCO which are very very nice tools....
with my school i get discounts with most of the major tool companies....
50% off the following:
MAC
SNAP-ON
bluepoint
Blackhawk
Cornwell
S-K
some FACOM
Proto
CRAFTSMAN

and i get 62% off of MATCO!!!!

i think before i leave the school i am going to get like $15k of matco tools


i just bought an extra set of combination wrenches from schucks today (my buddy had to get a new belt for his GLi) and there was a lifetime waranty 24 piece set of wrenches that cost me $16 after tax......

those wreches will be for customizing!!!!!

its a pretty sweet deal

[DSchultz325e]

mac and snap-on are pretty comparable. when i used to be a gas monkey those were the only brands in the shop.

[m42technic]

My box at work is filled with pretty much all Snap-On stuff. Ive got some Hazet and Stahlwille goodies too though.

My school has the same thing. I just ordered $1200 in tools Tuesday night from Matco. The only shitty thing is that Snap-on only discounts certain sets for us. I'm getting some combination wrenches and torque wrenches from them.
I really haven't had good luck with craftsmen stuff, the wrenches don't fit nuts and bolts well and the ratchets break all the time. But maybe thats just me...

most of what I have is craftsman. thank god for the warranty, because I break their shit all the time. in one day I broke 3 extensions in half and cracked two sockets. I also trashed a set of easy outs andI returned them (they barely worked anyway). but, they get the job done and are fairly cheap, and when they break I can just walk into sears and get new ones.

[clavinZERO]

home:
Craftsman for the bulk wrenches and sockets
Klein for wire strippers and some screwdrivers
Stanley cheap screwdrivers for grinding down into specialty tools, hehe
ChannelLock pliars, needle nose, and side cutters
ONE snap-on ratcheting screwdriver, tee hee

at the shop in uncle's box:
snap-on, bluepoint, matco, and stahlwille for the most part.

So everybody has a mix and match. Ok I need to get back into buying from the vendor again because I need some stuff.

I found out today that I can buy Snap-On/Blue point (one in the same) for 50% off on base when the truck comes once a week. New roll away to replace my 1963 snap on unit with a mega chest?

[rscheiring]

BTW, those 6-spokes are up to $225 with 5 days left :roll:

Yeah those are going way to high as discussed in my rule of wheel thumb.

Firstly, what the hell is a rule of wheel thumb.

But back to the topic.

OSJ - ocean state job lot And whatever I can steal at VSR when I'm there.

Stanley. :P

Wal-mart tools rock.

I've got a toolbox with the biggest set they make in it. They's my traveling tools (for junkyard fun, etc.).

That's 90% of my tools. :roll:

My dad isn't a car guy, he drives a buick......
He has some shit for the house, like a hammer......

I buy tools when I need them......or improvise.

[M-technik-3]

The Stanley unit is great for basic, it was cheap and they offered a good discount when the first came out.

Rob, that's an inside discussion about rule of thumb.

[dgspikes]

my dads got sick sets of craftsman that i use, but i have a bag full of hand tools by Klein, but i use them for work mostly
