I have a lot of Snap-On tools, and a lot of other brands. As for warranty, it depends more on the tool truck driver than it does the company. I won't even let a Mac truck on my lot because of one of their employes that used to be on the truck but now is a manager. He didn't want to warranty anything. Always came up with a (you broke it because you didn't use it correctly) or it's not broken, it is worn out, or ???. The tool man I have now doesn't work for any of the big names but gets tools and equipment else where and stands behind everything 100%. His prices are about 1/2 the price of the name brand, just as good or better quality.
By the way, about 10 or 15 years ago there was a Craftsman truck that started coming to our shop. It was a market test. He was doing a GREAT business and every thing was going great for him. After a few months, Sears pulled the plug and we never saw him again.
