tiger, I simply can not justify the cost of Snap On tools. Simple 9/16" open end wrenches from Snap On are $40 or more. True, Craftsman tools are now made in China, but their lifetime guarantee still stands. In 50 years the only tool I have ever returned was a 3/8" ratchet that I put a 4' pipe on to break a bolt. I stripped the gears and returned it for free replacement. Craftsman along with Kobalt tools from Lowes can't be beat for the price. I have built and restored 6 cars and maintain all my cars and never had an issue with Craftsman tools.
