OTC is another good brand of tool but usually special purpose. Greenlee is fabulous. Seems from reviews that the quality of Stant cooling system pressure checkers has slipped. I had a PROTO single bar puller with several sets of jaws that was phenomenal. Learned early on to use good quality grease on the stem threads. Seems like too much stuff has declined in quality the way last 20 years. I can vouch for WiHa screwdrivers and impact screwdriver bits. They are as good as anything I have ever used in my life. Their bolstered screwdrivers are simply incredible. Bolstered means the shaft passes up through the handle and has a metal cap to pound on.
