Don't be scared to get Armstrong tools
From my oilfield experience they are top notch and heavy duty

Craftsman, snap-on, allen, SK, stanley, klein, husky, kobalt, wiss, mititoyo, starrett, dewalt, makita, stout, milwaukee & on & on & on. My dad was a machinist/ fabricator & I'm an electrician/ general contractor & between him & me we got enough tools to open a small tool store.

IMO if you make a living with your tools then Snap -on or MAC or Matco is the way to go. But for the weekend wrench Craftsman is hard to beat. As posted earlier make sure to get the made in USA Craftsman....

all snap-on and blue-point here 5 roll cabinets and 2 carts havent found anything else that will withstand my abuse. snap-on guy usually replaces anything i do break that day or he has it overnighted to me. there expensive but they last better than anything ive found with good support locally. if you are an occasional user craftsman or cobalt(owned by snap-on) are pretty good.

About 95% are Craftsman, & that is in 2 tool boxes, one roller pit box for the shop & a chest type in the enclosed.
The best & most used, a 3/8s drive Craftsman butterfly impact. Boy you just flip your thum & that thang does the work.

ive got various craftsman items also. sockets, wrenches, ratchets etc. they work fine. although alot of it was bought 20-30yrs ago so its getting old and worn. got a craftsman torq wrench thats all metal. it must be from the early 80's. its been used alot and the ratcheting teeth are worn out and bind up/skip once in a while. took the head apart to see if some lube would help but the teeth are shot. ive seen the new craftsman torq wrench and im not impressed. definatly will be buying a different brand when i upgrade.

I never liked the new craftsman torq wrenchs
I use a proto torq wrench that my grandfather used and it works awesome

On a side note......I bought a DeWalt impact combo kit and used the smaller impact gun to pretty much disassemble my entire damn quad in half the time. Don't know why I didn't think about this years ago.

Made in USA too
