What types of tools are you looking for? welder, screwdrivers, mill, saws, hammer? from what I understand are you asking the brand or the tool? if youre asking the brand i say husky, crafstman, chicago(cheesy but kool), ect.

I use Snap On or Mac tools. They just feel right.

Don't know if they still do, but I know Wiha used to make the screwdrivers for Matco.

For screwdrivers it's tough to beat Craftsman - the warranty helps too. Just dump them in the bucket and pick up the new one.

For anything else, post up what you're looking for.

Snap-On, a little pricey but for that you get to-your-door service and my dealer replaces most anything that breaks except drill bits but thats a new policy, plus I get free shirts, hats, butane refill canisters and other misc small stuff that is a pain to buy. not to mention I only pay 30 bucks a week no matter what was purchased..otherwiase just go to Sears and for the price of one snap-on wrench you can get a whole set.
