I use craftsman tools. Lifetime warranty. If it ever breaks, just take it to any sears and they'll replace it free of charge.

Hudy Set up system
Craftsman Rotary tool, plier set, screw driver set, and other misc.
Mini picks from some low quality brand
There are more, I'm sure everyone has a list, but those are what I use most often. Btw, Happy B-Day.-xmas-

hey does that craftsman rotary tool have replaceable brushes?
or if they wear out can you just bring that back to sears too?
i buy all my regular tools there. like real automotive tools.they are awesome .....i broke a few ratchets(?) over the years and just walked in with it...the guy grabbed one of the shelf scanned it gave me a new ticket and said have a nice day. they rule for that...how about power tools?

If I could only buy one set of tools this would be it the OFNA #10823:
It has the the most commonly used metric tools. You can purchase it here: OFNA Tools

I went to the lhs today and bought a set of losi sae drivers to work on my xxx-nt I used them to work on the truck a little today to get ready for tomarrow. The worked great I even remove som screws I thought were stripped with them. I wanted the ofna set that you guys talked about but the lhs didn't carry them so I bought the losi instead. I am happy with the losi tools the performed real well today. I think I will order a set of ofna tools in the future ,I just didn't want to wait on them because I needed them now. Thanks guys for the advice.
ImBroken - very nice tools, looks to be good quality and with a lifetime warranty how can you go wrong. The prices are right on too!
I just ordered a set.

I've used the Bondus in the past. I actually keep a couple in my box as back-ups. Although, I only use them when I have to. The handles on the smaller wrenches make it hard to get a good grip. It is sometimes difficult to get out those stubborn screws. The tips on the smaller sizes also seems to wear more quickly than other wrenches I've used. I've not used the warranty, but it may prove beneficial.
