As far as comparing Snappy (or you can also include other "upper-end" tools which have been mentioned here, such as Matco, MAC, Haxet, et al) with the lower brand or no-names (Buffalo, Craftsman, Globemaster) it can be looked at like lots of other fields of goods. Mercedes vs Kia for example. Both transportation, sure, but most of the similarities end there. Snap On is "professional grade" stuff, has a better look and feel to it, but Snappy or Craftsman can both do the same job. Or I'm sure Omegabenz can relate to this; how about a Timex vs an Omega or Rolex? Both tell time, but you don't see Omega in the same spot normally that they sell Timex. Whole different league, whole different class. Either you aspire to own the best, or you just want something that'll get the job done. Nothing wrong with either route you take, either you want to spend extra and get something you feel is superior, or you feel any amount of money beyond what is absolutely neccesary to get the job done is a waste.....
