I've got a neighbor who went to small engine school after he had a trucking accident pn 1994.At one time he had a lot of local business repairing small engines.He had a lawsuit against his former employer for unsafe conditions & he won big time - ended up with 2 million bucks.As soon as he won the lawsuit,he quit working on small engines (not that he was good at it,I think he screwed up every one he worked on) He told me one day"I've got every tool that Sears ever made".I thought"yeah,and there they all hang on the wall".He could've had a thriving business if he was any good at what he thought he was good at,but laziness prevailed.

I've got some of them all from Snap on to Napa to Craftsman to Lisle, to Armstrong and Stanley. I've got two Snap on tool chest, a blue point and a large Stanley one in my garage. Out of all that I can think of about 3 things that really stand out as great tools. The rest...well they are all tools and all get the job done. I must say I wish I had back all those snap on dollars and replaced those tools with craftsman or husky or something. The remaining dollars would be spent on nothing other than HOMELITES!!

I never worked a real job and to be honest I don't think I ever made 30K in any year ever. In the last ten years I made half that or less that, but I'm resourceful AF so Craftsman and Husky tools, many used, is what I could afford. While they aren't top of the line they have been good to me. Some of my best purchases were a 1950s Wilton Bullet vise, and a 1950s Curtis Air compressor, I paid 200 for the pair. You should have seen me trying to get that compressor in my van, lets just say with internet pictures be very careful on dating sites, some objects are larger than they appear.
