Mechanic's hand tools: Snap-On or Mac. You can spend lots of money here.

Craftsman for home duty, good value at that price point.

I have lots of Makita power tools, but they are older ones and I think that they have changed their design philosophy somewhat over the years, targeting the home user more now.
