Snap-On from what I hear from some of the real old timers is just about taking anyone with a heart beat and some sort of credit score. |
All 3 of those brands of tools are pretty nice really. I'd go with the Snap-On's given the choice, but would take a full set of any of them.

Strange you just happen to live in the town that they are made in. |

While some may be sold to upgrade most are from failed dealers.This is were trucks go when the dealer goes out.If you click on the company it lists all trucks available with those stickers. |
What about Kobalt from Lowes? I thought they were made by Snap On?

I've long quit wrenching, and after seeing today's pricing on tools I'm damn glad I bought back in the 1970's and early 80's- I feel sorry for those having to buy today, and used but nice would be a strong recommendation.
My collection is almost all Snap-On, although many tools here at home, the farm, and the cabins up north are a hodgepodge of Sears and Mac/Matco. Snap-On always had the highest quality, IMHO.... I never gave much look at big boxes- they were worthless in aircraft hangars (although it was always fun watching new hotshots show up with them). The smaller, lower, and more mobile, the better; few will go under a jet's wings. They're pretty, but bump one of those big hogs into some guy's 45 million dollar aircraft and see how much he likes your box. |
