my air tools are generic no names. I keep them oiled and they work very well. I do put up with a small oil leak or other little quality issues but they continue to work for years. Other items (not hand tools) like my router or cordless drills are Bosch and dewalt. Take a look at the projects you do the most and see what is out there. Easy to replace, lifetime warranty hand tools is great too, if it doesnt take 3 years to get your new one back from China slow boat.
