bmfx1 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I have Craftsman and Snap-on tools, Craftsman for home use and Snap-on at my job. I have rounded a bolt head with a craftsman wrench, then grabbed a Snap-on wrench and took that same bolt loose. Snap-on to me seem's to have better fitting wrenches and sockets. I have noticed the newer Snap-on stuff seem's weaker, most of my tools are 15 to 20 years old and still working good. Seem's all the big companies these days are looking at cutting cost by going oversea's....unfortunately the quality goes down too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

registered user Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 craftsman aint what it used to be. some of their stuff is still good but some is junk. torq wrench with plastic handles ? old ones were all metal. snapon, proto, armstrong, is probly a better choice for top qaulity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
