I have about 60% Craftsman, 20% S&K, and the rest Snap On. I really like my S&K drives sets (Very solid) but they are a little tricky to find. Sears, well- they're everywhere. When the wife unit hits Victoria secret, I slide on down to the Sears store and buy myself a little sumtin sumtin....

Lee brings up a good point; if I break a Craftsman tool at work, I can't exactly hop in my truck and drive down to Sears to exchange it right then and there. I can call my Snap-on guy and if he's got it, he'll swing by and swap it out for me. My old dealer would come back on Saturdays if I broke something or needed something and swap or sell it to me.
A bunch of my chrome sockets are Craftsmen, just about everything else though is Snap-on, Matco and Mac.

We use husky here at work and they are just fine for our needs. If you are a pro use craftsman, snap on are over rated, wayyy over priced. If your not a professional why would you need snap on.?? Husky will work just fine for the do it yourselfer and you can buy more because they are fairly cheap.

If you're working on a small headed bolt; that would be detrimental if it stripped, and could have lock-tight; you better get a snap on.

Buy the best tool you can afford, don't use a tool other than for its intended use and keep them clean and maintained. This will insure the maximum life usage of your tool. Yes they break sometimes and some more often than others. In Canada we have a retail store called "Canadian Tire". What did you expect? 
They market the Mastercraft brand. Lifetime warranty good quality tools and no hassle return. And like Sears they have the ratchet guts replacement policy with the exception that they will assemble it for you.
