I have about half craftsman and half "made in china" tools. I keep a lookout for tools and sockets when I go to the junkyard.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Canadian Tire has always been VERY good at tool warranty replacements. I don't even think they sell ratchet repair kits, they just give you a whole new ratchet.
Everytime I've taken back a ratchet the lady at the service counter just puts a repair kit in my ratchet and gives it back.

I have a veritable salad of tool brands. A few good craftsman pieces sprinkled in here and there. I can usually judge the quality by picking them up, though. I had, can't find it anymore, an awesome all-black ratchet that was standard issue at the GM Lordstown plant, it had a very short sweep and was tough as nails, I sure hope I can find it again. I'm not sure what it was called... Johnson? Jacobson? Somethin' like that. Anyway, between the boxes in the garage, basp00get, and my car there are a countless number of tools,(I've counted as many as 10 of the same wrench before) but it always happens that I have about 15 3/8" wrenches in the garage, but all the 10mm's are somewhere else, unless of course I'm not looking for them.

As for power tools, we have about 5 Makita cordless drills, 2 or 3 DeWalt regular drills, a huge Bosch hammer drill, cheap-er Craftsman drill press, DeWalt table saw, Makita compount miter saw, cheap generic 14" (is that the size?) chop saw, a total of about 5 welders (2 Miller's - one arc, one MIG, 3 Lincoln arc's), a big 7.5 hp shop air compressor, countless air tools, D/A sanders, impact wrences, air rachets (all broken), die grinders.

I guess you could saw between my father and I we sort of collect tools, just not in any organized fashion. I've gone out many times to just buy a tool I wasn't able to find, only to find it later that same day!
