->in other words, my advice varies depending on how much mechanical
->work is actually being done, and on just how dissatisfied a person
->is with craftsman tools. lots of people don't really need snap-on
->tools to do the work that they do. that's all.

In all the years I've been wrenching on various things mechanical,
from autos to farm tractors to big robots to assorted heavy machinery I've
mostly used Craftsman without trouble. I agree with richard in that thet have
been going downhill in the last few years. I've broken more Craftsman tools
in the last 3 years than ever before. But it's just short trip down the
street to get it replaced 7 days a week. Definitely a bonus. Especially in
those situations where you really want to get something done....Sometimes
I see a need to spend 2x on the SnapOn, but it's about as often as I see
a need to spend 0.5x on the Buffalo Pneumatic. I just couldn't pass
up the $6.95 air hammer in the grocery store. Mostly for the novelty of buying
it at the grocery store...
