I do a lot of auto repairs on my own and have a ton of tools however combination wrench's I am a bit picky on. My current set is completely beat to heck ! It was a Commons tool truck load set from 1994 and since Commons Tools went bust I cant replace any of them on warranty. The issue now for me is the ability to beat them up and still be fine. I would prefer 6 point but the price goes way up for them.
As of right now I have $80 dollars set aside and am intending to buy the Craftsman 32 piece set. My opinion of Craftsman is they are not the best but they honor their lifetime warranty without question. A good majority of my tools are Craftsman because of there warranty.

My second choice is the Pittsburg set at Harbor Freight. Many of my auto tools have come from Harbor Freight and have held up well however they are a good drive from me ( 32 miles) and I cant just drive there to return a tool quickly.

The third choice is Stanley this is another brand I am ok with except they have to mailed in for replacement. They are among the better tools that I have had and liked aside from there junky ratchets.
Huskee is another I have owned and currently have some of including ratcheting combination wrench set. My issue is that again they need to be mailed in if broken.
I wont buy SnapOn, MIT, Matco or any super expensive brand for home use simply because they are good buy way over priced for the same warranty as others have.
I am ok if I need to mail them for a better set however I feel that these are all comparable. What is you guys opinion on durability and warranty ? Pros and Cons ? I would appreciate any input as it would be nice to buy a set that I can kick the snot out off and have it last.
Thanks again
