    If you're in need of a Craftsman toolset, get this one! Maybe one for dad?
    It's only $8599.90! Hmm, the word "overkill" comes to mind. :

    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.

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

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

    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.

    GUITARS: 17 G&L's / '78 Gibson, Les Paul Deluxe / '79 Dean, E'Lite / '92 Hamer, Special / '93 Hamer, Special / '96 Hamer Eclipse

    $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.

    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
