I use all Husky Brand. Cheap stuff from home depot. Just used the $500 dollar scholarship i won for tools on some new husky things. Including a 500 piece Wrench, Ratchet, and bit set. All Husky Tools have lifetime warranties also. So im set with them for now. Good tools for a young kid like myself.

All my standard wrenches are husky, so far no problems.

I'm adding Blackhawk and Ryobi to my collection now. I picked up a Ryobi circular saw a little over a month ago and have been very pleased with it. I also just got some free 12 point metric Blackhawk sockets.

Mostly MasterCraft (Canadian Tire) same quality as Craftsman. I love the fact that you can bring back a wrench or ratchet with snipe marks all over it and no one asks any questions they just give you a new one and carry on. Getting warranty out of Snap-on and Mac is a little more complicated but i do have some of their stuff for the high use tools that i relied on daily when i was pulling wrenches.
We use alot of "wrench extenders" (snipes) in my industry so tool breakage is common.

Hand Tools = Craftsman
Power Tools = Chicago Electric/ Craftsman/ Dewalt

If I'm going to spend a higher price, I want a lifetime guarantee. But most of the cheap tools I purchased from Harbor Freight have been surprisingly holding up well. (Chicago Electric)
