IMO Snap On blows
I'm stuck with about 150 dollars worth of broken Snap On 1/2 inch drive allen sockets that I can't get replaced unless I ship em because the Snap On guy won't come to our plant. The Mac guy shows up every week though. This thread is about hand tools but let me say this about Snap On. My opinion and experience. They are way overpriced and the new stuff is'nt worth it. I had a 250 dollar Snap On pnuematic angle die grinder last about 1.5 years on the job before it took a crap and it cost me 75 bucks to have it rebuilt then it lasted about 3 months and broke again. No more Snap On tools for me. I'll stick with Craftsman wrenches and Ingersoll Rand air tools. I have a 4 year old IR angle die grinder that cost 70 bucks new. I use everyday at work and it's still going strong.
I have a Craftsman 16 inch, 1/2 inch drive, flex head ratchet that I use at work (industrial use at that) and have had it replaced twice in the past 10 years, no questions asked.
