I have a lot of SK tools. This started out as just what I could pick up from the local auto parts store but I have been satisfied so far. I have only broken 2 of their tools. 1 7/16 wrench and 1 7/16 socket and that was from very hard abuse (2 foot cheater on a rusted and busted slack adjuster) Both were replaced under warranty.
Master Mechanic Tool sets
So back in October some one stole all my hand tools... when I say all, I mean all. All I currently have is a set of staking pliers a #2 philips , and a 6” crescent. They broke j to my Bronco and stole all of it while I was pulling the engine.
So now I am in a position to get a new tool set. Originally I was just going to get me the tools needed to finish reinstalling the engine and a few other tools to make life easier again while adding to the kit later on down the road. But today I was offered a job where I need a full set of tools. 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2, 3/4” drive ratchet sets ranging from 4mm up to 40mm and 5/32” up to 4” (maybe larger) sockets both standard and deep well. A full set of wrenches up to 2”. Hammers, screw drivers, pliers, pry bars, snap ring pliers... everything. Now in the past I had a decent collection of Craftsman tools mixed with Mac and Snap~On for the larger and specialized tools. I’m looking for ideas of a decent brand of tools that offer a complete professional grade “Master Mechanic” tool set.
My google foo has been returning cheap junk, and Snap~On tools are way over priced for their tool sets and Craftsman tools have lost their quality.

Is this farm equipment or construction? We have a 624K wheel loader and it has been great so far other than the safety software and the parking brake solenoid is very easy to snap off. I am a fan of redwing boots. I wasn't until I was gifted a pair a couple years ago. They do live up to the hype.
Congrats and good luck!Well I got the job, so next up is to start gathering tools.
What! Good luck on greener pastures, at least you got some new tools for the next one!
