yea, I never really liked husky until I started using their ratchet wrenches, then I got a set of their pro screwdrivers, etc. and than it was all husky from there lol

i have a ratcheting screw driver by husky and i love it!!! its better than the craftsman multi bit screwdriver i have(the ratchet mechanism is really strong) It came with a full set of torx bits, long and short phillips and flat heads, and a nut driver set going up to 1/2 inch

No, Snap On makes some of the best tools in the world. I was saying snap on is about 85% more expensive than Husky

But for a home shop.... I dont think snap on is really necessary.

The thing is.... you can spend $20 bucks on a Husky ratchet or $180 on a Snap On. The snap on will never break......... BUT you can break the husky one 9 times and still break even
