One drawer in my Snap-On box is worth over $15,000. And I have 2 drawers like that.
One standard wrenches and one metric.
I got Snap-On, Craftsman, MAC, and stuff that you might never heard of.
For cordless power tools. When I worked for Elliott and Duke. That's 30 yrs total. I used it all. DeWalt, Rigid, Milwaukee, Craftsman, Roybi, etc. And I prefer the Milwaukee. The batteries don't go bad as fast as the other ones and have to buy replacements as often. The chucks grip better on their drills.
What I don't like on the new ion batteries. When they die. They're dead. Use it, sit it down. Pick it back up, and nothing. With the older style batteries. You knew it was coming close to needing a recharge because it was slowing down. One the plus side of the ion batteries. My new 18v Milwaukee batteries have a light to indicate charge level.
