What idiot disses Snap-On? They invented the freakin socket, And to this day make the best sockets/handles in the world. And most of their other stuff is the best in the world too.
When everyone else was screwing around with their old style ratchets, Snap-On came up with the Dual 80, A 3/8 ratchet that handles over 280ftlb!!. Try breaking one, I dare you. I have had my F80 since they came out and I beat the living piss out of it, the worst I could do to it is snap the switch lever off (which is of course replaced for free, after 2 months of using it like that) Being able to both put a 3 foot breaker bar on a handle, and then being able to get it in a tight spot and still ratchet it at 5 degrees of movement is a huge HUGE advantage.
And Who makes Snap-On? Oh yeah SNAP-ON, MAKES SNAP ON, NOT SOME THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURER.
Matco, Gearwrench, and Craftsman, are made by the same manufacturer, and that manufacturer is not Matco.
And who makes toolboxes you can put a truck on top of?.....
