Hi Dom I never looked at it like that but this toolQuote:

Personally I think Snapon are grossly overpriced, there are plenty of brand names out there with life time gaurantees
My mate broke a small brako bar [sidchrome] 30yrs old or so took it to Repco no questions asked swapped it over.
I have had no problems with my kingkrome gear they did give me an up dated 1/4 drive rachett, even though the old was still good.
Thanx mate.Quote:

You just gave me a brilliant idea. :D
They are good, but I reckon you can get equally good German made tools for less price, except the lifetime warranty.Quote:

Personally, I tend to avoid expensive tools, 'cos being a backyard fiddler, I don't need tools that good, 'cos I don't wear them out that quick.
Some el cheapo chinese made tools tend to last for a while in my case. I also buy cheaper ones, so I can modify & fiddle with them without suffering a big loss. I buy standard tools, then cut, bend and weld them to suit my needs. I won't be able to do that with expensive tools.
I like blacksmith gear mate, especially that mammoth iron anvil. Too bad, I can't use something like that in here.Quote:

best on offer so I brought Kmart Choice brand, The idea was it only had to work once
that was in 1992 and here I am today and still have them best socket set ever, ha ha
Tools are a personal thing though I remember everyone lining up for the Snap On truck to arrive.
each to their own, Williams make a great spanner as well
My favourite tool for off road. Never used them off road yet but just like to have them there. Use them a lot in the shop and at home.
