Yes snap-on is the best, but be ready to pay.

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.

no offence to you or your shop, but Craftsmen is garbage for what i do. I work on big diesels with 1 and a half inch impacts that weigh 50 pounds, etc. Craftsmen fits to loose, poor durability, flimsy.

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.

WERD. Fit an finish on pro tools is a lit tighter.
