I find that my Snap-On combo wrenches are too slick. A little bit of trans oil and they get downright slippery. But I like to carry them in my touring kit because when someone borrows one I always get it back. The cheaper tools have less perceived value and don't come home.
Ask your favorite waitress how many BIC pens she loses.
Now I may replace them with a set of Gear Wrenches that came home from Farm & Fleet with me last time I was there. A left over Black Friday deal, they beg a new understanding for "Cheap Tools!"
