Open cool ones easily and is heavy enough to double as a weapon should someone try to kidnap your brew. I have the C-man ratchet handle bottle opener.

If your an electrician who uses one daily to drive and remove 1-200+ screws a day you will come to appreciate Klein's perfectly milled or machined heads. Craftsman screwdrivers tend to strip light weight, non stressed screw heads very easily (like those used to hold outlets and light switches in place) Because nothing beats a Klein screwdriver, except “maybe” snap on.

Taking a broken tool into Sears seems a lot easier than mailing the tool into the manufacturer. So I have to ask, Why do so many electricians carry Klein? Is it just a "cultural" thing?

Why not get all Craftsman ones and just take them to Sears if they break flipping the steak or whatever? That would seem like a better idea. I have a Sears hardware nearby and I was thinking of just spending a little more for each tool I have so I can always just run down there on the way home from work if a tool fails. Having to mail a tool in would just suck compared to that. I mean really, they are only like 2 miles from my house and the service there is second to none.

Other than that, you always have something to open a bottle with--especially in a workshop. Anyone that has been to college can attest to the various crazy ways that bottles can be opened in a pinch. So unless it was an opener that had personal meaning to me or matched a tool set that I really dug, I would not spend the money.
