Whatever floats your boat I suppose. I can't justify the price of a Snap-on ratchet/wrench when I can easily run over to Sears and get it for a hell of a lot less. I suppose if I lived far away from a Sears location I might think otherwise but as it stands, if I break one I have only to drive ten minutes away and get a replacement. Now if you're talking torque wrenches, that's one area where I don't mess around. I've been through three Craftsman torque wrenches and one Kobalt wrench. Snap-on is where it's at when it comes to a torque wrench that will remain accurate. I'd also like to say that you've got to pick the right tool for the job. If you've got a bolt snugged down to 150+ ft/lbs, a 3/8ths with a breaker bar isn't the route to go. Chances are most tool breakages occur from people choosing the wrong tool.
