This my own personal preference, and some may think it a bit cliche.

But I would recommend ratechting wrenches. There are some things that are so hard to reach that a socket is useless and a wrench takes forever.

ratcheting wrenches are the best.... however, very expensive for a full set.

CRAFTSMAN is the only way to go for any hand tool. walk into the store with your broken one, pick a new one off the shelf. go home, continue what you were doing.... nothing beats it
