I find that the Snap On stuff is an absolute pleasure to use, but unless you are a professional mechanic its just not worth paying for. I have always purchased Craftsman, and while it doesnt have the bling of Snap on or Mac it does have a lifetime warranty, and for us non professional mechanics, I can always run to Sears on a Sunday afternoon to replace a ratchet, finding the Snap On rep isnt always so easy unless you own a shop and he comes to you.

I vote for Craftsman, though I have heard good things about the Kobalt tools at Lowes. Supposedly they are made by the same folks who make Blue Point, which is Snap on (someone please correct me on this if I am wrong).

At the end of the day, I dont think you can go wrong with Craftsman.
