For what you'd pay for a new Craftsman at Sears (Simpson or Roebucks) you
could get a used Snap-On at a pawnshop.

Should it ever break...

That's when you'll have to hunt down the ever elusive Snap-On truck. They
have a route. All you have to do is start calling auto repair shops and find
one that knows what day of the month the Snap-On truck shows up and stake
the place out.

Anyone who ever holds a Snap-On ratchet in their hot little hand will
never
buy another Craftsman ratchet, IMO.

That's the key. Holding the ratchet. Where does the average joe six pack
go to buy Snap-On?
I agree about the superior quality of these tools, though. My pal is a
diesel mechanic, and uses this brand.
They are really a pleasure to use. But man do they cost! But he makes
good
money at his job, gets a tool allownace, and can depreciate the costs on
his
income taxes, not so for most of us.
