Do the skinny jeans chaff?
The amount of skinny jeans that he has is beyond belief. If only I was kidding...
Can't forget the white skinny jeans either! -
If I buy a milwaukee tool, I'll be that guy, I'll be the one badmouthing other tools because they don't say Milwaukee on them. I can't be that guy.
So you are not in control of your own actions?
Buying a Milwaukee tool doesn't force you to hate everything else suddenly. It sounds like you are being a stuck up porter cable or makita owner suddenly.Picking your brain is interesting and fun by the way!

I don't actually own any portercable products right now, and my only Makita is an old corded drill that I use if my batteries die. Most of my stuff is Bosch or Hitachi. People rarely love or hate them.
If I bought a Milwaukee I'd hate me, not everyone else.

No one has ever asked me what tools I have used to work on my car. I guess what my point is, is that if it gets me to the finished product I'm cool with it

After relying on my tools in a professional capacity for so many years I have gathered nice and expensive tools but I've also learned where I can take shortcuts. My socket's are a mix of duracraft, pittsburgh, craftsman and snap-on and the same can be said about my screw drivers and other items. My go to wrenches are all Snap-on or Gearwrench and my go-to ratchet is a Snap-on. I think for someone who just does this stuff at home there are some things worth spending money on such as cordless tools or air tools but they may not notice the difference between a fine tooth ratchet and cheap-o ratchet nor may they care about the difference.

It doesn't matter to me what's on the box as long as the shit does what I need it to do and doesn't explode in my face

I never knew that tools were such a sensitive topic with you guys. Shit, we talk about this stuff everyday at work without anyone getting worked up.

Trying to psycho-analyze peoples tool preferances... got nothing but lame penis/gay jokes.
Don't penis and gay jokes go hand in hand (/pun)

I don't get it

^That is a good point. I've been raised on the tit of Chevrolet and have the mindset that most Fords suck. It's a shame that the Taurus backs that up lol
That's funny because I have the same mindset about Chevy. [emoji4]

This kills me, trying to work with someone else's tools and they have a PowerDuraLastTorque Ratchet that has 3 teeth, and you have to work in a tight area.
The Craftsman Professional ratchets have proven to be awesome, awesome ratchet at a good price. -
There's definitely some tools I don't cheap out on, like torque wrenches for example. If it has the ability to damage something much more expensive than the cost of the tool I get a nice one.
However, If I'm only going to use it once in a blue moon, I don't mind cheaping out as long as it gets the job done. I don't need to buy a $100 O2 sensor removal tool from Snap-on to replace a sensor every few years at the most, the one I bought on amazon for $10 did it perfectly fine.

This pretty much hits the nail on the head for me. If I were balls deep into cars or worked on them every day, I would invest in tools that make jobs easier and more efficient. Until then, I would rather spend my money on parts instead of tools. So far I've managed to get stuff done in my garage. Might take (a lot) longer than necessary sometimes, but oh well!
