wahts a good name brand for tools that i should buy. i need a whole new set of wrenches and sockets. any suggestions?

 

I use Craftsman. They have a lifetime warranty on their hand tools.

If you have a garage and more money, you may want to look at Mac and Snap-On. If these companies don't regularly drop by your house with their truck, Craftsman is probably a better bet.

How about Facom? I know they are guaranteed forever like Craftsman. All I can say is Craftsman screwdrivers blow.

 

Where do you buy Facom?

I agree on the scredriver thing. I had a set of the black ones and I don't even think I can trade them in for new ones because the Craftsman name wore off.

Outside of that, I've never had a problem exchanging tools with them. I also like that I can buy individual sockets as needed, and the local sears always has them in stock.

Sears sells a couple Facom tools, but the most I've seen is inGriot's Garage I don't have any as of now, but they can't be bad if they're the official tool of Ferrari and McLaren.

Edit: I just ran a search here's their site. www.facom-tools.com Oh and they also go under the name SK Tools. www.skhandtool.com

 

Snap-ON are the SH*T but they are stupidly expencive, and the only way to buy them is online and if u happen to catch the truck...hehe big boyz ice cream truck

 

Pittsburgh tools is really popular in my area. not sure where else they sells them but they are cheap and very good and guaranteed for life also.

I am also from Pittsburgh, PA heheheh.

 

I currently have all craftsman....and I have ONE snap-on screw driver!!!!! wooo hoo!

 

craftsman all the way.

 

yaay sears here we go thanks guys

 

Snap-On all the way.. i still yet to own a tool of theirs lol. I got all craftsman now..

 

If I remember right, Pittsburg tolls are the made-in-china things that Harbor Freight sells. I have a couple as occasional use tools, but I wouldn't buy them for anything I use regularly like wrenches or ratchets.
