I'm not one to conform the the 'all one brand' philosophy....not knocking it, just that one company might make a better torque wrench, and one might have better made/different sizes of sockets, while another.....you get the idea. I believe buy the best for your individual purposes, be it price, reliability, whatever.

I use to work with a guy that had about $30k in Snap-on tools....he had everything you could ever need, and ya they were nice, but they didn't turn bolts or screw in screws any better or worse than Craftsman or Husky or 'x' brand.

Agreed... I just prefer (though I do have sockets and wrenches from several different brands) that when I do build a collection, they're uniform. If nothing else, it'll help me with my mild CDO.

I find the easy to read sockets that are craftsman are very handy. I can't see near as well anymore.

If anyone wants a spare/backup front stock bumper with the plastic and metal part that still has the crush cans on it, you're welcome to the one thats taking up space in my garage. It's the one off of my 2007 Sahara with the fog light openings
