I have two Snap-On wrenches, 13mm and 10mm. I grab them first before my
Craftsman. I like Craftsman, and I also have King Dick tools (note the
plural, no off color jokes please) and there is no comparison. The
difference is palpable. Snap-On beats both.
As an aside, when we were flush (before three kids) my wife had the Snap-On
guy come to our door for my birthday. Wish I had bought more wrenches
instead of some of the fluff stuff.
Regards,
Ross

I just thought I'd through some kindling on this thread :). Once upon a time, I was a mechanic at a car dealership. I started with Craftsman tools. Snapon tools were VERY expensive. The MAC tool guy also came to the shop. I occasionally borrowed some tools of varying brands from teamates in the shop. IMO, Snapon tools are also far superior to most other brands. I could mention some of the nit-picky differences for anyone who is happy to argue. I don't know how many times I've heard people say "Snapon? they're ridiculous. Craftsman has liftetime garauntee - same tool!" - NOT Are they worth the extra money? For the amount I tool around today? definately not. As a full time mechanic? most of the time, yes.
