Years ago(30-40 yrs ago), I'd buy Craftsman, Stanley etc., and I have many of my Dad's tools, S-K, Snap-On, Cornwell plus circular, jug & table saws, drills etc. Today if I need just a single tool, I'll buy one from SEARS, AAP, AZ, HD, HF, PBs etc.
Today with the "need a quick tool", I have a hodgepodge of tools such as AutoCraft, HUSKY, IronMan, Pittsburgh or whatever brand name sold by that particular store.
I certainly don't need anything anymore 'cept a speciality tool for a particular job I may reluctantly get myself involved in.
