The Kobalt tools look nice, Craftsman best value, but nothing beats snap-on, My father , a mechanic and service station owner for life, years ago put a craftsman wrench on a bolt and said to pull it, then put the snap-on wrench on the same bolt, you can literally feel the difference in the two wrenches, the snap-on gives you more pulling power and is more comfortable in your hands.

That reminds me. Throught school I get a very good discount with SK, Craftsman, Mac and Snap-On.

I've always been a firm believer in buying the best tools on the market. The biggest argument I hear is that if it has a lifetime warranty it must be just as good. P'shaw!

Taking the heads off my old HP465 I went through every Craftsman socket I had that would fit the bolts. They split like rotten banana peels. Finished the job, and many others like it with Snap-On. With Snap-On stuff I've never broken a tool and never rounded off a nut or bolt head. Warranty's are fine if you've got the time to go back to Sears in the middle of every project to replace busted tools.

I also agree with previous comments about comfort and feel. I work on my stuff because I enjoy it. Fine tools and the pride of ownership enhance that enjoyment.

Like Dad always said, "Take care of a good tool and a good tool will take care of you."

Snap on at the shop, home, truck, boat and wherever else I happen to be working at the time.

Craftsman is what we have used forever. Lifetime warranty, why not.


there is NO air compressor for <100 bucks that will run REAL air tools, what are you using a dentist drill :D :D


and if it don't say Continous Duty rated, It's junk.
cast iron twin or better, at least 12Ga power cord. if it has a fancy plastic cover and looks cool it prob junk. If you can pick it up and put in your truck without help or at least a back ache afterwards it prob junk too. :D
