i used to buy lots of em as he stopped every week and yep the mechanics pay the same price as joe off the street.and their quality has gone down considerably.back in the 80's when i was wrenching they would warrenty wrenches if the chrome was flaking off.well my dad had mostly snap on stuff from the 60's and alot of the wrenches had flaking chrome so i turned em in.what did i get that crap flank drive stuff that either stripped nuts or broke.i still have a few of my dads old wrenches and will be damned if i'm gonna turn them in.i'll grind the chrome off first.
