I'm not a professional mechanic, so read this in that light.

My tools are a combination of Craftsman, a tiny bit of Snap-on/Blue Point, S&K, 
old Harbor Freight (before the China Syndrome), Stanley, and others.

When I needed a tool right away I bought new....somewhere, but one of the great 
values is buying tools used. Good tools last and can be purchased reasonably.

I also based some of my purchases based on how much use I would subject the 
tool 
to. For example, all of my air sockets were off-brand; I don't need A-list 
sockets.

As for the warranty issue.....Some people abuse the tool warranties and 
mechanics told me personal stories of intentionally snapping-off screwdrivers 
in 
a vise to get new. I also don't think manufacturers should be required to 
replace with new a bunch of worn-out old tools that someone just bought at a 
tag 
sale.
