i own about $2k in snap-on...and a bunch of matco, sk-wayne, wright, craftsman, cornwell, proto, bluepoint hand tools and boatload of specialty brand tools.
no flame intended, but without a doubt, snap-on is the most overpriced, over-rated tools in the above list.
i bought snap-on bcause our salesman was a good joe. but the matco and cornwell reps had a better rep for replacing busted tools. and yes, all the name brand tools will break if used hard enough.
sears sockets and ratchets are the worst of the lot (guess who makes them?). snap-on screwdrivers are the best, imho.
i haven't earned a living with my tools in over 2 decades, but generally reach for whatever is handy and works, nowadays.
