Tools in you Tool boxes

I’m curious what hand tools we are using and what we would buy if we could afford them. The tools I am interested here are screwdrivers, end wrenches, sockets and ratchets.

A list of brands that I came up with:

Cornwall
Craftsman
Hart
Husky
Ikon
Kobalt
Matco
Pittsburgh
Quinn
Snap on
Stanley

I purposely put them in alphabetical order. I am curious how you would rank them from best to least. I know screwdrivers are very subjective (and in my case almost throw away/easily lost) so do your best!

In my case most of my hand tools and sockets are Pittsburgh, Husky, and Kobalt depending on what’s on sale at the time. I do have one NAPA tool set that was dirt cheap and a reversible Gearwrench set.

What you got and what do you want?

Thanks
Steve

Re: Tools in you Tool boxes

I Pittsburg in my rigs but in the shop we use icon. Harbor freights return and warranty system is awesome. The tools are cheaper and they are built cheaper, but when you break a ratchet you walk in and warranty right then. Pittsburg is good because it is cheaper if you lose something but icon is worth the money for in the shop. In my opinion.
