Which tool brands are you loyal to?

[4xBuilder]

Milwaukee all day every day.

[DRT]

Porter Cable.
Craftsman

[Shinesintx]

Rigid for cordless, free lifetime service and batteries

This. Home Depot replaced everything after I'd used it for two years. All I wanted was the batteries replaced, but they replaced both drills also.

I'd also say Glock. I'm very brand loyal to them...and yes, a Glock is a tool

Dewalt corded tools. Milwaukee cordless tools.

[Doug Roberts]

Milwaukee, Snap-on, Matco, and some craftsman

Man I had the opposite experience with Rigid, our batteries crapped out in no time and they wouldn't do squat. My personal tools were all rigid too and I donated them to the shop when my batteries quit, and switched to Makita. I love my makita stuff.

Dewalt 20v on cordless, snap-on and kobalt for hand tools. Chop saws and porta bands have been Milwaukee. Can't complain on any of the above

Snapon for me I still have wrenches I bought in the early 80s and their still going strong.

Whatever has made in the USA on it, or the tool with the most metal in it. I stay away from DeWalt, they love to use plastic gears in their internals on non commercial grade tools.

Just do some research before you buy. 15 minutes reading reviews, and its pretty easy to see what is and isn't good.

Starrett mics and Mitutoyo calipers.

Knipex has the best pliers hands down. As a mechanic I have all kinds of tools from all kinds of brands, the only brand I will stand behind 100% of the time is knipex. Love mine

Haven't used any of their battery tools (RIGID) but I got their 3.5 inch pneumatic framing nailer and holy jeez that thing is a freaking beast.


Cordless-Dewlat
Corded- Milwaukee
Hand tools old craftsman and will probably go to snap on if I lose or break any as Craftsman is no Crapsman.

[alec73065]

Dewalt for all corded and cordless powertools (20 V cordless)
Craftsman for all sockets and wrenches ( I have a couple of ratchets and socket sets I bought in 1983 for a graduation present for myself that still work flawlessly)
Fluke for electrical meters , amp meter
Klein for nippers wire cutters and screwdrivers
Channellock for slip joint pliers
Crescent for adj wrenches
Vice Grip for locking pliers
Mitutoyo or Starret for precision machinist tools


I do have some cheap Harbor freight type wrenches that go from 7/16 - 1 1/2 that I bought around 1980 that I use for junk tools to beat on or put pry bars on that have never broken, go figure.
