Thanks guys, I'll be sure to hit up 916Topherv6 :-D.

I will agree on use over and over again... But come on something like a hammer? Wire cutters? you don't need top of the line crap...

Jsut search ebay for Craftsman, Snap on may be better but craftsman is affordable and when one breaks you walk in and get if replaced, Snap-on is a little harder to find a place to replace it.

Get Craftsman for you ratchet set and all that jazz, I posted a thread back in like june about starting a new tool box and got all the same replies from people.

Although I'll be the first to admit, my screwdrivers, pliers, some crescent wrenches and all the other random tools came from Harbor Freight. They've been holding up fine for me. I've used them all a good deal and had no problems with Harbor Freight tools. I love that store and definitely do recommend them as well. The craftsman warranty is nice though, just bring in the defective tool and it's replaced brandnew.

for all my good tools i get craftsman, but for those odds and ends, or for tools that i just plain cant afford to buy from sears, i go here:
http://www.cumminstools.com/browse.cfm

not bad quality really, and the prices are unbeatable.

There's a great tool forum at LS1Tech.com

I like craftsman too, www.sears.com

I brought in a thirty year old Craftsman screwdriver to Sears and also a rusty Craftsman backsaw (I left it under a palm tree for like six months - whoops). They replaced them no questions asked.

Also, the only brand of tape measure anyone should ever buy is Craftsman - those things are destined to wear out from use/abuse regardless of brand. Sears just keeps replacing them for me.

I have a craftsman measuring tape and like 10 others at my work the craftsman one is nice...

And get a REAL set fo Channel locks, don't get any knockoff brand including craftsman. REAL Channel locks is the only one I have used that hasn't resulted in smashed/bloody knuckles they sell them at home depot and lowes...


And seriously for craftsman check out ebay. I suggest get a nice big craftsman set fo screwdrivers, then hit up walmart and get 2 sets of the stanley(black and yellow) ones they are only like $3 a pop. Used the craftsman at normal times and use the stanley when you need to chisel, pry, bend or whatever with a screwdriver.

Just a little FYI the harbor hand tools are great because they are cheap but carry the same warrantee sears does (i think you might need to keep the reciept but you can just scan it in and save it to the HD). Now i have had a few problems with some of their cheaper power tools but the slightly more expensive ones hold up great. Besides where else will you find a hydrolic Pipe bender for 70 bucks?
