Not bad, but NO ONE touches snap-on's sockets.

And to think, the day before I began working at my first shop..I actually thought craftsmen was a good brand. lmao

Craftsman has been in my shop for the last 12 years even when working on my imports, including the rebuild of several rotary engines. Now that I have decided to go back to American muscle I wil continue using my American made tools.

I know they seem good at a small shop or at home. But when you use them EVERYDAY of your life, they just can't hold up.
