Fleet maintenance here. Bumper to bumper, from the tires to the sky. Everything with the exception of major machine work and injection pump rebuilding.

I've been doing this line of work since 1976. I have all ten fingers and toes because I spend my money where it counts. Snap-on is my line of choice for hand tools followed by Matco. I have a lot of OTC heavy duty tools for the really "grunt" stuff. A few oddball Craftsman pieces I have acquired over the years and "adapted" for specialty jobs.

Craftsman makes great tools for the "weekender". The odds of such a person having to apply 350 ft.lbs. of torque are nil. S-K tools make a good line.

I've actually been using the Duramax line of tools from Autozoo at home for the last couple of years. Decent quality, relatively in-expensive and they seem solid. I wouldn't use them at work.
