My hand tools are Snap-On and Craftsman. My pneumatic tools are Snap-On and Dayton. All my power tools consist of Dewalt and Craftsman, and one Hitachi 18v driver that I actually like better than my Dewalt. My main toolchest is a 19 drawer roller bearing Snap-On with top storage.
I try to stick with Snap-on and Craftsman for most of my tools because of the quality and lifetime gaurantee.

What brand of tools do you guys prefer?

I only have Craftsman tools. I can't afford Snap-On tools.

I like kobalt, But we have a snap on truck that visits the shop every month so we usually have snap on tools. I get kobalt from lowes when I need a tool right away.

A mixture of Mac, Snap on, and Craftsmen. They're pretty well constructed tools and have awesome warranties.

Snap on Limited Edition Laser Etched top draw with BS little things that come with limited boxes.

Cornwell roll around cart because it was super cheap.

But mainly it's snap-on tools with some craftsman stuff and Makita 3/8th drive cordless impact....I LOVE THAT THING!! Makes disassemble and reassemble really fast.

My roll around box is a craftsman. I really want a snap on but can't justify dropping the coin. Maybe if I used my tools for my job, then yes. But I can't justify $5000+ on a tool box for a hobby

MIT! I love ratchets and screw drivers I can bend around corners to use in a tight spot. :)

Craftsman, Kobalt, Husky and Klein.

S-K,Craftsman,Makita. Snap-ON is just way too expensive for me...and my wife to approve of course.

Snap on or Mac is all we have. For power tools we have mostly Dewalt and a few pieces of Makita and Bosch here and there.

My old school 65th Anniversary Premier Edition Snap-On chest I've had for years. Sounds fancy but it's not. Just your avg roller bearing Snap-On chest. I need to get a new one with more storage; I've been out of room for my new tools for a while.

A 16 gallon oil drum I made into a stool, with a 360* spinning seat:D:
