I miss this thread entirely and I just spent some time reading though this and found some very interesting banter. I think KB's post had a lot of truth to it and put things into perspective. However I went down stairs and I ask my husband snap on or craftsmen which is better? He said what are you doing..... it makes all the difference in the world. He said for working on engines it's snap on. Last longer, breaks less and they have very good costumer service. You do pay for that service. He said you could compare them to Avon they come to the buyer and you have that personal connection with the distributor "Old school" However, for what I do working with wood and repairing things I'll go with craftsman tools. It's what my dad used it's what I grew up with it's tradition "Oh and never buy tools from home cheap O (Not kidding that what he said) He also said but I do look for both kinds of hand tools at yard sales. If its cheap enough I buy it, it happens to break, then I get a new one and at my next sale I'll sell it for 1/2 what a new one cost at the store. Anyhow I thought it was pretty funny it's like he had read this thread.
