Anybody use these?
They are manufactured by Williams, a division of Snap-On tools and sold exclusively at Lowe's. Prices are pretty good.. Gaurenteed for life, etc..

Those two things go a long way, I have found when Craftsman tools are on sale there a better deal. If Lowes has the right tools at the right price for you then I'd say go for it.

I've always thought the Kobalt tools to be over priced. The last time I went to Lowes and looked at them I wasn't impressed. I think craftsman is a better deal

i have always perfered Huskey tools from Mome Depot. when i bought mine the price was better than Craftsman with the life time warrinty. i have had them for well over five years now and have never had a problem. well... there is always the problem of never having enough.

I thought that maybe they would be better quality then Husky or Craftsman because they were made by Snap-On.. Maybe like an SK tool..
I've never seen a Kobalt tool though..
