Very true,the Snap Ons and Macs are the tools others are judged by..I have always stuck with Craftsman hand tools and they have served me just fine.Over the years I have broken a couple through mis use and Sears always replaced them.Although Snap Ons are definitly or supposedly the best,the Craftsman line is a much better buy considering price and everything. And yeah most of the guys who were wrenching as a profession,bought the Snap ONs because the truck was right there.Nothing the matter with that. I bought my original set of Craftsmans in 1957,on sale for $39.00,and I still have and are using 99%of them 50 years later.The 1 % that I dont have were lost,or loaned out and never returned.And yeah, I used them professionally for a few years.
