Being a machinist for 40 years, I keep my precision tools in my Kennedy rollaway. Most of my everyday hand tools are now Kobalt and Craftsman. My power tools are Hitachi (Cordless Drill, Circular Saw, Cordless Reciprocating Saw, Sabre Saw, and Finishing Nail Gun)

Bosch tools are getting mixed reviews. Cordless tools are so so, chop saws wear out quickly, jig saw is great. Portable table saws are awesome.
This from my crew of 30 finishing carpenters.

Very nice. Are you, by chance, a GJ member?

Wrenches(box/open end)Craftsman.
Pipe wrenches-Ridgid.
Sockets & ratchets-Williams or Snap on.
Pliers-Channel lock.
Screwdrivers-Williams or Craftsman.
Hammers chisels and other tools were mostly Craftsman or Williams.
Adjustable wrenches-Crescent brand.

I had all of these brands in my tool wagon during my 37 years as a maintenance mechanic. All of my tools were made in the USA.
