Harbor freight is an awesome place to pick up tools!

As a former employee of Sears, Craftsman is overpriced, and the quality has gone down in everything in their lines. Sears is now really strict in their "lifetime warranty" as well, they've denied a lot people's claims! Craftsman used to mean quality, not anymore! If you DO pick it up, pick it up on sale, don't pay retail! DO NOT PICK UP THEIR JACKS, it is not like it used to be!! I can't emphasize this enough, we used to get atleast 5 returns a day!

Snap-on is great, but pricey!

Kobalt is on the same level as Craftsman honestly.. Kobalt is like getting Craftsman on the cheap! Ive gone through their warranty return, and its the way Craftsman used to be, "no questions asked".

But again as usual... YMMV!
