No,...Not the douchebags with 10 foot wings on their stock SOHC neon that rev at everybody,...Tools to work on your car. Discuss. Brands. What you have, and use. What you like. What you don't like, and why. What you like, and why. What works, what doesn't.

{Since this is a car forum, I'd like to stick to tools for cars. We can start another thread for household/whatever tools if we need to. }

Okay, fine I'll start. I've been using my dads tools for years, and so my "personal" collection is fairly (unfortunately) limited.

Boxs: stanley (was cheap, does the job.) and a craftsman (gift from parents when I was VERY young.)

Wrenchs: Husky, ace hardware specials , and "cornwell offbrand" specials off the cornwell truck (amazingly convientant, boxed end combo metric, for instance one is a 10mm/12mm . Talk about handy for working on a honda!)

sockets/rachets-craftsman, and a GM goodwrench one. (gifts).

I like husky stuff. Home depot is really close and they've treated me well. Their selection is rather limited though.

I did start this thread b/c I'm curious to see what others are using. I like Cornwell and Matco ALOT, but I'm not crazy about having to hunt down a tool truck, especially if I broke something. Craftsman hasn't terribly impressed me, I've broken my fair share of them.
