When you break a craftsman ratchet, and bust all your knuckles, you will quickly learn why snap on ratchets are far superior.

Hazet tools are pretty expensive, but I like Snap on, and Hazet the best. I like Stahlwille as well. German allen heads fit better in mercedes screws I think, so I go with those. I dont buy mac tools because the owner of the truck never returned my calls in high school, he thought I was some dumb kid wasting his time. So I droped probably 10k in tools to the snap on man in the last three years, and I just work on cars as a hobby.

I am a big fan of buying something once and keeping it around.

They are worth the money.
