I have a Craftsman 150 pc set and for the most part it handles my needs.

I put their replacement guarentee to the test and they replaced a lot of my tools when we had our fire.

Somewhere in this mess are my old Craftsman tools. I took in everything I could find and they replaced everything. The parts were discolored and probably the metal was weakened by the heat.

Gas containers full of gas and on the shelf above it, two batteries - nothing exploded.

I wonder how much that would cost in Snap On Tools?:eek:

See...the thing about Craftsman is that the timber is rather flat when you drop them. Snap On have the loveliest tones.:greenguitar:

You'd be surprised Rob with the tools you eventually need for those special little projects around the house, yard or garage. I can see where all of those would come in handy. And yeah Snap Ons would be way more expensive.

I'd only pay that much if they automatically lined themselves up like that, or in some other organized fashion, for me after I was done. I love that socket arrangement top near center!

So you know what I mean? Snap On sounds even better than MAC when you drop them too, right?

Lets see if Strummy hassles you for clips too.;)

I'm a mechanic, and I have $50,000 invested in tools. Most of my tools are Snap-on & Matco. Craftsman, tools are ok for around the home use for occasional projects, but they won't stand up to the daily use in a shop.

$50K??? There has to be some serious tools in that collection. $50K, let's see that would be equal to a decent quantity of guitars and amps.

Seriously...for those that say there is a difference...how much difference is there, REALLY?

50k is a good average and it comes out of our pocket,so really auto techs are not payed nearly enough.Yes Rabies there is really a difference between the tools.For me Snap-On sockets are the best.Sumi :D

Anyone who makes their living w/ wrenches deserves good name brand tools.
Specialty tools made for specific jobs are usually expensive, so I can see where a tech could spend $50K. I don't vacuum lines or perform diagnostics myself, so I have maybe $1K worth of stuff .
By the same logic, what do I need all these guitars and amps for? I'm not making a living w/ them, I should sell all but one or two.......... not.
