What is your favorite, moderately priced brand of tools these days? I finally bought a rolling tool chest for my garage so I want to start building a 2nd tool set to keep in my trailer. It was a pain to unload my tool chest back into little tool boxes for my last track day, and I'm kinda lazy so I'd like to avoid that if I can.
My garage tools are all ~20 year old Craftsman and have served me well. Unfortunately Sears stores are difficult to find now and I've heard that Craftsman isn't as good as they used to be. The only hardware store I have locally is a Lowe's and tools I've purchased there haven't been the best. The bits for my impact driver bent in the first few swings of the hammer, and my hand plane doesn't stay adjusted for more than a few passes but those might not be a good representation of their basic hand tools. I don't know though.
Thanks,
