I was picking up a friend at my car mechanic's shop, and the Snap-on dealer was in the waiting room. We got into a conversation while I waited for my friend to finish up and ended up going out to the tool van where I got a demonstration of the differences between my Craftsman wrenches and Snap-on's.
Three things really impressed me: how much better the Snap-on's hold onto a bolt head, how little you need to turn one of their ratchets to get a "click" and how expensive they are. (Over $300 for a set a combo wrenches) The dealer also beat on a Craftsman wrench with one of his leaving dents all over the cheaper wrench to show how much better the Snap-on steel is. I'm thinking of buying a couple of ratchets and a set of SAE wrenches.
How about it A&Ps? Are they worth it?
