OK so if your a Professional, you can say "C" tools are crap and cheap, etc. But if you are just a weekender don't dare disagree with the pro's. I don't get it.

BTW I have Popular Mech and Stanley in my toolbox. Some Craftsman. I used to have Snap on tools, but my brother scattered them while I was stationed in Hawaii.

No Krue, I never said dont disagree with a pro. Some people here seem to think that Snap On and other companies have " tricked" , " conned" or even " brainwashed" us into buying their product. I just dont get that. I do have Craftsman tools at home, however I dont use them every day. If I did, I would be spending more time going to the mall than working with them. Opinions are like...well you know, everyone has at least one.

I wasn't commenting on anything. Just posting the link. I don't care where anyone gets their tools...... they are the ones who use them. I have 3 snap on tools (two are torque wrenches). The rest is pretty much "Crapsmen" (including two roll-away tool chests). My electrical tools are a combo of cheapy auto parts store jewels, harbor freight garbage, and accupro(?). My machinist tools (I used to be one) are pretty much Starret with a few Mitutoyo mixed in. Now they gather rust/dust. My woodworking tools are almost exclusively Dewalt (exept for a B&D cirlcular saw my father in law gave me for Christmas). If I could afford it my automotive tool collection would be almost exclusively Snap-on. So my prefference would be "Snap-on". My wallet says "Craftsmen".
