Some of the tools that i've bought in the past didn't last very long.
The tips would get bent or get grooves in them. Basically tools became
useless very quickly. They were no name brand, made in outer mongolia
kind of products. So my question is which company makes good, long lasting,
quality tools. It's perfectly OK if I have to pay premium. The tools I'm
looking to
buy are the kinds I would need in an emergency around a city appartment.
So, hammer, screwdriver set, pliers, long-nose pliers etc. What else would
you
say I need?

thanx


I inherited a wooden box full of pipe wrenches, threader, etc. from my
FIL. I was giving them a cleaning (read lick and a promise) and came
across a hacksaw on the bottom of the box. Broken handle, useless
blade. I was about to toss it when I noticed a "C" on the bow. A bit
of rubbing revealed the magic word: Craftsman. Put it in a bag and the
next time I was near Sears, took it in. The clerk looked at it, his
eyebrows moving into his receding hairline, and allowed that this was an
old-timer. He disappeared and then reappeared with a shiny new hacksaw.
With a fresh bag to boot. :-)
