Never heard of strike force tools. I only use Craftsman. Never heard nothing bad about those Kobalt tools.

i use craftsman as well. if i could afford it, i would have snap on.

kobalt? arent those the blue oriented tools that look comfy in your hand? those are pretty decent tools? do they got the crafstman lifetime guarentee?

my only complaint on crafstman is they are not very comfy.

i never heard of strike force. i would stay with kobalt if you like them.
