    I never understood the need to spend that much on tools... I get you need them for work, specialty stuff and all, but sockets, screwdrivers and the core tools can be had through other sources MUCH cheaper than the Snap On man.

    Yikes, at is quite a toolbox. I feel ashamed that I keep all my tools in one of those nice Klein tool bags, if you know what I’m talking about...acq8zuc04wdt.jpg
    The tools don’t even fill it past the leather section! I need to step up my game.

    I asked a friend of mine that same question. He's a bus mechanic for a large school. Came back with a good answer. Told me Craftsman are good for normal use. But when using them everyday on stubborn bolts they don't hold up. True that you get a new one but it doesn't cover your hand or knuckles when they fail.

    When you have to replace the muffler bearings on '97 Chevy or the master mud pump on '76 Pacer you need to have the right tools for the job...One thing Snap on doesn't have is a Smoke Wrench.

    don't go to youtube where they were torture testing some tools and the snap-on were failing faster that the gear wrenches....

    I was very surprised to see the gearwrench stuff broke at a higher PSI than the better tools
