My workshop's grown over the years, and now I'm thinking of upgrading some of my older tools—specifically the ones I use for woodworking projects. I've had some of my tools for over a decade, and they're starting to wear down. I want to find replacements that will last a long time and can handle regular use without issues. Should I look at power tool sets or focus on hand tools first? And how much does brand really matter when it comes to durability?

It sounds like you've put a lot into your workshop, so I'd say focus on quality hand tools first—things like chisels, planes, and wrenches. These are the tools you'll use daily, and investing in better ones can make a big difference in precision and comfort. I've found that Husky tools are worth considering, especially if you want durability. I upgraded my set with some of their wrenches and socket sets, and they've held up to heavy use without showing wear. Their tools have a chrome finish that resists rust, which is crucial if you're working in a space that isn't climate-controlled. I picked mine up after reading through reviews on the Official website, which has good info on each product. It helps to see what other woodworkers have said about their experiences. And with a lifetime warranty, you have peace of mind knowing that if something fails, you can get it replaced without hassle. A bit more investment upfront, but it's worth it for the long-term gains in quality and reliability.
