It is your personal prerogative because when I got hurt using craftsman tools, I vouched to never use them again unless I was forced to.
When you round off bolts and nuts with craftsman sockets and you have to borrow your friends Snapon stuff to extract the old bolt, why not just start with snapon wrenches and not round over bolts. Craftsman stuff flexes too much.
Do you know how much work goes into making a snapon wrench? They actually forge the whole wrench instead of cast it then bend the box-end end.
Yeah, husky, craftsman, etc can get you by...but if you live the mercedes lifestyle, might as well have the best tools to go with it.
It is your personal preference in the end. And how much it matters to you.
