Well, I own all the brands and I used to be a Matco dealer. I own a snap-on tool box and I like Matco's box a lot better. To me Construction is better, detailed choices are better and unless you spend more money with snap-on the red paint really sucks. I like matco screw drivers better, but like snap-on wrenches and ratchets better. A lot of the other items come down to price as other manufacturers make the tools for both companies. Matco is owned by danaher. Danaher is bigger than snap on and MAC together. Craftsman tools are good for little jobs but plan on getting a busted knuckle or two with them. MAC and cornwell tools are of close quality to snap on but not as close as matco. If you want swivel impact sockets go matco, you will not be disappointed. Imoa

I do ok, but old contract and I own everything no note truck payment etc. Jerry Marks must have gotten tired of suing Snap-On he has moved over to Matco.
Read back a page pretty interesting.

I was a Snap On Dealer for 18 yrs, '82-2000. It was fun while it lasted, the $$ was great through the 80's to the mid 90's, but don't miss it one bit. Sooo glad I got out when I did. Still buy Snappy tools though, good stuff!

Its all good. Doesn't matter what tool company you are with, if you go out, chances are you are gonna lose your ass. Just the nature of the beast. All of the big four have law suits against them.
