Mine are all old Craftsman, Mac tools, and SK.

The SK tools are probably my favorite...

I seem to have Proto and Armstrong, with some misc. mixed in.

Used Proto up on rooftops, but love the feel of the Armstrong stuff.

At top right of the thread, click on the drop down containing the moderator tools, then click "create poll".

I can't really answer cause I don't ever sell my tools. I'm taking them with me! But for wrenches, sockets, & ratchets.... Snap-on, Danaher/Armstrong made Matco USA, & Nepros/KTC cause that's what I have.

To make a Poll, the tool is in the pull-down menu ( · · · ), at the top of the page, to the right of "Watch".

I think any USA manufactured tools (vintage or not) are keepers.

I have mostly vintage Craftsman plus a bunch of Gearwrench and some of everything else.

Add S-K to your list. For a long time S-K ratchets were my favorites.
However, I have cracked some S-K 1/2" drive sockets, way too easy.
