I started collecting tools at about 14 years old and at 71 about 2/3rds of them fit in the big red chest. I have names like Williams, SKWayne, Proto, Craftsman. Wards, even some JCPenney.

 

THANKS Guys . Really appreciate everyones detailed feed back never thought this thread would get much traffic but got a lot of help from you guys . I just need tools to be honest to work not he bike and just to have plus its a hobby thats bringing me and my father closer together so we are both loving it . I will be asking for gift cards for tools for christmas hahaha .
Thanks again guys

 

There's nothing wrong with craftsman tools. I'd rather take something back to sears occasionally than pay 3x as much and then have to track down a snap on or Mac truck. Go here http://www.sears.com/tools-mechanics...R&viewItems=50
and buy one of the sets with all 3 size sockets and combination wrenches to start. There are some nice sets that have boxes with molded trays for everything and they're on sale. The one for 179.00 is a good deal. Buy the craftsman professional screwdriver set with it.

 

I have craftsman tools from the late 70's. USA Made. But have been buying tools since as you can never have enough if your a hands on guy . Check yard sales as you can still get the older made in USA stuff for cheap. I carry no tools while riding since my insurance comes with roadside assistance.

 

That actually sounds good yard sales it is than . Thanks man going to give it a try
