Well, I picked Snap On, Mac, and Husky. But I forgot to pick Other, for Craftsman and Westward.
Started out with the 500 piece Husky set about 10 years ago, built up to a 40" wide Snap On top and bottom KRA series tool box 2 years ago, and still adding to it.
Most recent purchases are from Snap On; Torx screwdrivers, Torx sockets, and a "Master Bolt Grip Set". Just a fancy way of calling it a steering wheel puller. The last thing I got from Mac is a 4 pound sledge, and a blue LED Streamlight.

Most of mine are Craftsman... it's a loyalty thing that I picked up from my dad, I guess, but I've been fairly impressed with the quality of the tools I get from Craftsman. Plus they sponsor the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series... big fan of that here.
I also have some no-name's that I've picked up from time to time. Can't remember ever breaking any of them, but if I ever did, I would'nt be out much.

I don't know how accurate this is, but it seems to me that the stuff made in Taiwan is better than the stuff that's made in "China"i.e...mainland. Maybe it's just my imagination.....or just the tools that I've bought, e.g. a few ACE Hardware wrenches that I had to buy on short notice.

i have a lot of craftsman tools too.
stanley, snapon, mac, and craftsman are the biggest part of my tool box. they are all good to me so far.
The majority is the craftsman. I have a few ratchets I need to take back, but I have abused those for years and years.

Every "Made in China" tool I have touched is crap or close to it.
Some of the "Made in Taiwan" and "Made in Japan" tools are def. a step up from the Chinese stuff. Now that I think about it, they are also a step up from most Crapsman in quality.

I am not a profesional, but I do consider tools to be investments. Most of my tools say "Craftsman" on them. They are good quality, not terribly expensive, and can easily be found and exchanged under warranty.

Half Craftsman, oneThird Stanley, and some old grungy SnapOn's that I inherited that work like a champ after soaking in kerosene and cleaning the asphalt off.
No, no idea how he got asphalt in them, was just glad to get 'em.

I have wrenches that look identical but some are marked KD and some Easco.
Easco currently holds the trademark for GearWrench and it seams that KD has been assimilated by Armstrong. It appears that Danaher has done some rearranging of its divisions.
Did you buy new Easco Wrenches? I didn't think the name was used anymore except letter heads, and it appears KD is heading to extinction. Its to bad about KD becuase the used to catalog a lot of speciality tools.
Too answer your question, Easco and KD wrenchew were at one time one and the same except for markings.
