I know, the thread title says "Show off YOUR tool boxes", but I still like to know just what's out there.
(how do you know yours are the best? unless you know about them all?) Or, at least as many as practical.
Well, here's another brand that looks pretty cool.
While they don't look like Snap-on quality, but they also have a full line of mechanics tools.

This one, you may have heard of - if you look closely at the SpikeTV shows on the weekly PowerBlock shows, you'll see the guys using these:
<font color="green">Stahlwille Tools</font>
And don't forget the brand that
<font color="blue">SK Tools</font> is getting together with:
<font color="magenta">Facom Tools</font>.
I used to try to stay 100% Snap-on branded, and then a friend had me try some of his MAC tools on a project where a Snap-on wobble extension wouldn't quite get the angle and so I tried the MAC with a MAC socket and I was amazed it was able to get the angle to loosen the stubborn fastener. Upon closer inspection of the two tools the MAC was machined to have about 2 more degrees than the Snap-on. That and the closer comparision of the two sockets revealed that the MAC socket was a touch shorter. I was convinced after that, I've no longer been a one brand guy, but the guy who cherry picks this & that. Thus, I try and buy all sorts of stuff.
Anyone ever hear of
<font color="teal">Cornwell Tools</font>? Another fine brand, also sold Snap-on style. Always fun to have a few tool catalogs to shop with while on the throne. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Just a little TBN bro'hood FYI. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
