I only have a couple things from HF and they don't get used very often. Everything else I own is Craftsman, Snap-on and Mac, oh and a Matco 1/2" impact. I started off with a Craftsman mechanics set and now it is slowly being replaced by Snap-on and Mac. There are some stuff I like from HF, mostly disposable items like wire brushes. But something like a torque wrench would see too much use so I'd rather spend the extra cash for a better quality one. Although I do have a pneumatic brake bleeder that was like $30 that works pretty well.
