I have been around tools all my life in some fashion , helping dad as a little kid at home, watching my heavy equipment mechanic uncles, to eventually turning to those tools to make a living. There has always been one brand they all had in common and what was more mentally stuck in my head and that has been Snap-On.
I usually kinda go the snap on way for a majority of my tools. I have never had a what I will call Quality issue at all with anything Snap-On. It may also be that I have always been at places with really really kick ass Snap-On tool trucks. That is my prefrence, I will shop around for the specialty kits as most of the time the same company will provide them to all of the big 3, so I may shop around and see who can do the best deal for me on those.
My tools at home and in the race car tool box are a mixture of stuff I have got as gifts, Ebay, tool truck trade ins so I get to use a very very WIDE range of brands in my home time and race track time. There is varying levels of quality but for the most part you can work with most tools and do ok for small stuff here and there. If you are depending on those tools to put money in the bank each week I would suggest Invest in the best you can buy and they will get you a return on your investment.
