Has anyone bought Snap-On spanners recently? What might I expect to spend
for this brand of tool?
entirely too much. i've a current price book, and have bought one
new Snap-On tool (a slide gear puller/hammer.) unless you really need
a particular tool, or are using lots of tools very heavily, i'd stick
with one of these choices: 1) craftsman; 2) S&K; or 3) find a decent
used tool store. i have purchased a number of used Snap-On tools,
and it doesn't hurt as much at 1/2 of list price.
the only exception i might make to the above is the Snap-On `flank drive'
socket set; these are wonderful sockets and are much easier on the edges
of the bolts and nuts that you use them on. i lust after a set of
1/2" flank drive sockets. fortunately, i've restrained myself from
spending all my lunch money on a set.
