I use Craftsman and Snap-on for the most part. Snap-On has some EXCELLENT ratchets; I use them to the exclusion of all other ratchets due to their action. I've got a sprinkling of other Snap-On equipment (sockets, off-set wrenches, etc.) but probably 80% of my stuff is Craftsman.
Craftsman is a bit cheaper than Snap-On (both offer close to the same quality of tools) and like everyone else has said, it's easier to find a Sears store than a Snap-On truck...
I've actually never returned any Craftsman or Snap-On equipment. I've been told you can tell a true mechanic apart from the amateur one's by the number of tools they break...
...so I know where that leaves me!
