Snap-on tools are tops in the industry. Are they worth the price? If you’re in the business, I think they are well worth the price. Snap on sockets and box/combo wrenches get into places that a Craftsman or other similar company's tools will not due, to their thinness. The smooth feel of a snap-on wrench when pulling hard just feels better then pulling on a Craftsman. They are made of better quality steel so they can be made thinner.
Now don’t get me wrong, I still love my Craftsman tools. My first tool box was a Sears Craftsman mechanics tool kit and I still have most of those tools today. I have a few Snap-on tools in my box and worked with them all of my career so I have first hand experience. Snap-on tools are in a class of their own.
I never got involved in the credit portion of the company, so I have no opinion to share.
That being said, as a retired tinker’r, I can’t afford the cream of the crop so I buy Craftsman, Husky, Rigid, or whatever seems like a decent tool for a decent price.
