    As a journeyman tool and die maker, I will buy the best tools available. Keep my "made in Athol, Mass" Starrett mic's in my "made in Dayton, OH" Gerstner tool chest. Now these famous American tools are being made in China; Starrett "Global Series" and Gerstner "International". Makes me want to puke :mad5:

    My HF / Northern Tool weekend warrior tools work just fine. And I'm a pretty hardcore weekend warrior.

    I still have my Craftsman set from high school. I've replaced a few sockets and finally replaced a ratchet this year. These are the tools a count on and use the most. Occasional tools are the few from Harbor Freight.

    I have found some other good tools over the years and a few bad ideas.

    I also collect old tools and you can see the quality the way it was. My oldest is a wood plane from 1850.

    I got to get the Bano safety glasses. I'm torn between the 18volt cordless hammer and the pneumatic slide whistle.
