im a really big fan of Craftsman tools. They are guarranteed for life, and are pretty reasonably priced.
Another plus about Craftsman, is that if you go to one of the Craftsman stores, or even to their website, you can sign up to be a member of the Craftsman Club. From that point on, you will get notices for certain weekends during the year when they take +10% off everything in the store, for Craftsman Club members only. Its free to join, I guess some people just dont want to put forth the effort in filling out the little card and sending it in! And I think you might get 10% off just for joining.
I think like anything you buy, if you buy the cheapest, you'll get crap. If you buy the most expensive, you'll probably never use it that much to justify spending that much. So I always go the middle road, and Craftsman seems to fall into that category. Plus, if its good enough for Bob Villa, its good enough for me!
