well seeing as how this IS a car site and it seems like thers is a lot of guys that wrench on their own stuff or work in shops or are techs for a living.

so, what tools do you guys prefer? i might start a poll if its big enough.

hand tools= craftsman
impact= ingersoll or s&k
specialty= whichever is available and decently priced
box= crasftman
shop tools= whatever is in my co workers toolboxes. mostly a guy named eric's cause hes cool and lets me use his shit.

:edit: and i dont know if this has been posted or not. if it has i havent seen one.

 

most my hand tools that i use alot are Craftsman unless i find some off-brand shit laying around and throw it in my tool bag, but i do most of my work out of my tool bag, thats the beauty of a Honda, a 10 through 17mm socket and wrench set, some screwdrivers and a needlenose and you can pretty much take anything off anywhere in the car, thats all i used plus the 32mm axle nut or whatever to take out my motor this weekend

 

Pretty much all Craftsman here. Best bang-for-the-buck by far.

 

^ Agreed... their warranty is the best. Broke a craftsman hand tool that your grandfather passed down to you? Take it to sears for an exchange.

 

Did not know that. I got a full Craftsman set for my birthday last week, and one of the sockets says "AFTSMAN" and doesn't have the size etched on it. Oopsy in the QC dept.

 

Craftman tool box with 260 piece toolset
Oil Filter Cups (dad got it for me off a truck)
Beginner sh*t
but overall Craftman....

 

I use my dad's tools.

My dad has a Modis and 99% Snap-On, and then 1% Craftsman and other stuff.

 

my hand tools are a mixture of snap on and craftsman

air tools are IR and snap on

DMM = Fluke

box = craftsman

 

I bought the Craftsman starter kit that had like 800 pieces or something like that. I now have about 900 tools between Craftsman, Ingersoll, and some Cal Hawk from the local Flea Market.

I have a 3 piece craftsman tool chest that stands about 6 feet tall almost filled lol.

 

^^ i have the same box
