heres what ive found as a chevy tech for 3 years.
i will never use craftsman impact sockets or ratchets at work, but its all i use at home
i do use craftsman sockets for regular hand ratcheting at work and have never had a problem
however, i hate snapon wrenches. for a fraction of the cost, i have gearwrench in every size plus my regular craftsman ratchets. ive never had a problem with a craftsman wrench, chrome socket (IF USED PROPERLY) screwdrivers etc.
i think its stupid to buy snapon screwdriver sets. the only time poeple break flatheads is when they are prying with them hahah

Gearwrench are pretty much junk for me to use at work, the ratchets break and slip within a few weeks of use, I do use them at home for my cars though.My Bluepoint wrench set has been great, ive had it for about 2 years now and have only had to replace two wrenches.
I think snap on is VERY overpriced on some items...$30 for a metric tape measure?Come on. However for wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, ratchets, prybars, ect. I buy it for the warranty.If im working here or at the mines in Arizona there is always a snapon dealer to replace the tools if they break.
