the thing with tools is- if you take care of them, and treat them well- they will last a long time without much trouble. brand doesnt really matter after a certain point--buy a quality tool you can afford now, you can always trade them in on snap-on or whatever later. i am a ASE certified master tech and have at least 75k invested in tools-but i use mine all day-every day, and working in the transmission field i use them very hard. they work well for me. i also work with guys who own craftsman, cornwell, stanley and other brands who can do all the same work as me. no need to be brainwashed by the big three tool companies to think there's is better. as long as you dont buy the 29.99, 300 piece socket set, you will be just fine. just my opinion.
