This question was asked on the resource, but I changed it around a bit, and I think we have more "Technical kinda guys on this board"

This question/poll is actually difficult for me to answer, since I can choose so many. I buy so many different kinds of tools for different things. I owe about a million ------- dollars to the Matco truck, and I just paid off my Snap on account. But what about Harbor Freight? holy ---- that place has some great stuff at prices we can afford!

Oh, and option 8 happens all the ------- time.. hah

Unfortunately most my tools have 'Chrome Vandium' stamped on them

Maybe if I had a garage I'd take some pride in my tools. At least I dont feel bad when I overhand one out into the woods when I get pissed....

I'm 19, went into my ZC swap blind with no tools. Lets see bought a $15 torque wrench on ebay, a $10 metric sale socket set, $10 metric wrench set. Then borrowed EVERYTHING else including but not limited to, hoist, timing light, air compressor, air tools, JACK STANDS, luckily I know some nice people around here.

Urgh, just remember had to buy a $25 breaker bar, and $5 socket that broke twice (Thanks craftsman) to get the busted hub nut off.

It really depends on what I need. Harbor Freight is good for things like 20 ton shop presses! Craftsmen is nice for hand tools, and they are getting better and better it seems with the high end type of fit.

I have to admit though, snap on is the ----.
