For hand tools like wrenches, sockets and such, Snap-on or Mac wrenches are top of the heap for heavy use. I base this on working at a Dealership that was flat rate and air tools were used heavily with the wrench holding the other end of the bolt/nut. S-K held up fair to the pounding also.

For sockets, I don't think any will take what a Snap-on socket will. They are just down right tuff!

For ratchets, it's a toss up with maybe S-K giving me the best service but are no longer made I think. Never had much luck with Snaps on ratchets at all, especially their 1/4" .

I get a kick out of these posts.

I'm secure enough in my manhood it doesn't matter what brand of tools I have they just need to do the job.

I bought a battery operated pole saw. I’ve used it plenty over four years and am happy with it. I think it is a 40 v. It’s a cheep tool but worth what I paid for it.

The parts washer I bought a few months ago is great for the money and costs about 1/3rd of a name brand.

I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.
