I don’t like what’s happened to the Craftsman stuff. I have vintage hand tools and a mechanics set of Craftsman I bought at an estate sale 5-6 years ago. Priceless stuff to me. The rest is a mix of what I like best. All my battery stuff is 20v Dewalt Max XR, some of my shop stuff is Dewalt. I’ve had a love hate with Harbor Freight for years. Some of their stuff is unbeatable for price/performance. I have a pipe bender, threader, parts washer (heavily modified in another thread) wheel dollies and some impact stuff from them. In my wood shop, Dewalt, Jet, Porter Cable, Delta. I have a 1957 Dewalt radial arm saw I got at the thrift store up the street for $20. Came with a metal box full of the original manual, bill of sale, vintage blades and a dado set. Looks almost new. My favorite is a 1953 Foley Belsaw 13” bed planer. Bought it for $10. Fixed the power cord, mounted a new set of carbide blades and fired it up. It’s got a 5hp 220v motor. Chews thru stuff my Dewalt 735 wimps out on.
