Iggy , I have a few Snap-on , and a lot of Craftsman , along with a
scattering of other brands . I don't see a lot of difference . As someone
above said , sometime ya needs a thinwall , sometimes a thick 6 point . So I
do agree with having different wrenches/sockets of the same size . Lately
the first place I check is the local pawn shop ... recently got a dozen 1/4"
drive sockets , all Snap-on and Craftsman , for a buck . Hard to beat those
prices !

The reason for my question was this:

I buy and sell a lot of stuff, sometimes wrenches. I have about a
dozen sets myself. Mostly Harbor Freight, some Craftsman. A Snap-On
adjustable wrench and a snap-on ratchet.


What I found, for myself, is that more or less all wrenches, except
the cheapest dollar store ones, basically work pretty equally.

However, the Snap-On wrenches are the most pleasant to handle because
of their finish. There is something about them, that makes them more
comfortable.
