The Official Tool Guide and Recommendation Thread?

I like my harbor freight ratchets. I have the Craftsman too but wanted to try something more modern and figured I'd give the harbor freight ones a try. I have the composite and then a big 1/2 extendable one. I want to get one of the regular 3/8 ratchets too. But yea I've broken a Craftsman 1/4 but I think it more just wore out but was of course replaced for free. But I don't see me breaking the harbor freight ones but the fact they also carry a lifetime warranty made it an easier purchase decision. Of course I don't use the composite to break things loose which is how I could see it breaking. Also I don't really like those flex head ones. At least definitely not for all the time use. The head is always just flopping around (twss).

I'm definitely in need of a good matching screw driver set weather purchased individual or as a set. Was thinking of trying harbor freight for them as well but open to suggestions.

Still really want to pick up a harbor freight tool cart (the red one) at some point.

If you want to see more of my harbor freight fanboism, search back though this thread.

For screwdrivers go Snap-On.  I just assume my HF screwdrivers (I pick up free with their coupons) will be rounded within 2-3 uses but they make great pry tools.

No idea how I break my snap-on multiple times while the HF holds up.  It always breaks in the head (ratcheting mechanism).  I NEVER hammer on it but I think the small 3/8 head + long handle put a ton of force into it when breaking stuff loose.

Sorry I dont know how people still like Crafstman ratchets.  They are garbage.  I do love real Craftsman open ended wrenches though.  Only wrenches aside from Snap-On that seem to have tight tolerances and don't deflect under load.  Even the Gearwrenches seem to deflect a lot.
