When I was a teen going into trade school in the 2000’s, I decided to assemble my kit with Craftsman instead of the recommended (sales pitch) Snap-On. With the kit I’ve had for years, I’ve been happy with what I’ve had. Though, now that I’m looking to expand my box, I’ve found out that post Sears craftsman isn’t what it used to be (chinesium).
What is everyone using for hand tools? I really don’t want to buy Chinese crap that’s going to break every time I do a project, but don’t need professional grade tools with the associated expense (Snap-On/ Mac/ Matco). I needed a 30” 1/2” drive breaker bar, and was surprised to see premium brands selling them for $150, and the cheap crap going for $35 with nothing in between. Is there any mid range brand of tools anymore that isn’t one time use trash?
