Since I'm buying a house with a 2.5 car garage (woohoo!), I'm looking to expand my basic set of tools. I'm wondering what brands of tools you guys use and would you recommend them. Everyone at work suggested Snap-On, Cornwell, or Mac Tools, but since I won't be wrenching on engines 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, I don't feel like dropping $400 for a 22 piece socket set.

So, I've been looking at Craftsman, Husky (Home Depot) and Mastercraft (Canadian Tire). I've searched the net and found good and bad reviews of the first two (used to be good quality, then moved production overseas and they went down the pisser), haven't been able to find anything about Mastercraft.

So, please tell me what you use and how you like them.

Thanks,
Bob
