snap on wrenches are the biz. the 6 sided box end will shift stuff you wouldn't believe.
their hex wrenches (allen key) are pish however and appear to be made of chocolate. recent screwdrivers are not much better.

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

Make a million a two in your spare time! Sell your OEM toolkit to generate much needed cash. Compare your toolkit to what SnapOn has offered (http://buy.snapon.com/catalog/search.ASP?PartNo=CYCLESET1) and you will see that your LoopFrame is simply a vintage cash cow!

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.
