Was associated with the business through family, anything less than the best was not an option. I have some old taiwan tools in a tool box for breakdowns that I throw in the trunk. I've had to use them before and so far so good. They would never make anything besides my roadside box, I don't think they'd hold up as good.
Snap-On tools are awesome, high quality and last. The old Craftsman was awesome when it was USA, but now it's trash. Wright and SK are the only good ones that I would buy now.
I have a Craftsman torque wrench I used on a tire change. It was a USA one, but it was great. Was yours chinese?

Jake, you had Craftsman break?
I do recall exchanging a 10mm, but think was more of partial than full failure.
I sure hope the Harbor Freight doesn't, as us it for junkyards. But, if it does, will keep to light duty, move Craftsman to junk yard duty.
SK Tools, forgot about them! I will check on the ratchets.
If you look at the reviews, the beam type is not accurate, so I never bought one. Stick with your Snap On.
On that note, if you can, get a inch pound torque wrench! With my Autism, I was stripping threads in my air cooled Volkswagen. Using it, now know what is what for the Mercedes, but in doubt or critical, I use it. Would have used it on the turbocharger, but couldn't get access.
