I bought a large tool set prob around 1981-1982. It was craftsman box wrenches, sockets, through in a couple of screw drivers. 200+ pc. set. Being a carpenter by trade, wrenches are low priority so they saw minimal use and I still have all of them to this day in the same craftsman tool box. They have been well used over the years and are great. I have bought very few wrenches since that time, with the exception being the oversize oddball or a metric set here and there. Lowes is the closest to me so I do have some Kobalt in the mix. They are well made, good tools. I am a tool snob and will only buy the best I can afford but for my home use I see no need in snap on. If I were a pro, may be a different story.
