Please recommend hand tools brands

Posted by varois83 on April 20, 2008, 3:26 pm

Hi

I would like to get myself some tools set at home depot or lowes for
common jobs at home or for the car. What shall I look for as far as
brands and prices?
I don't need the top or bottom, average stuff is good.
I would like to buy complete hand tool sets like they have often,
wrenches, screw drivers and the likes.
Not sure what is a good deal or not either.

Thanks for the help

Patrick

Avg stuff can cost more in the long run especialy working on a car
which stresses and ruins cheap tools. If you will use it every week or
month get a lifetime warranty.

For the home mechanic it's hard to beat the Craftsman sets when on
sale--just watch for sale fliers.

Master Mechanic comes with the same life time warranty from True Value
HW stores.

I thought Craftsman had lost their lustre. Somewhere I read/heard
that they are not what they were. Off-shored, or what?

Your opinion?
