If you were to use Snap-on for a while you would understand the cost and
realize that Craftsman is pretty much in the crap category.

No words more true have been spoken. The difference is when you need
to handle them for a living, you soon appreciate the quality. And
believe it or not, there are some nuts or bolts that will work better
by using a Snap-On. Face it, they couldn't stay in business with
those prices if they didn't have something! Ebay prices have been
reasonable as of late.

FYI - those "Kobalt" tools you can buy at Lowe's are manufactured by
Snap-On. So for some of you folks that can't see spending a fortune
on hand tools, you can get your stuff at a discount hardware store and
possibly have some quality, too.
