Why do folks buy from Snap-On trucks unless they need a tool immediately? I can find everything I need new on EBay for about half the price.

Yep, not an often used tool unless you get into repetitive tightening or loosening. I have one in 3/8" drive that I inherited from my dad. Made by "plvmb", which became proto. I've used it a few times, but it's not something you grab often.
Agreed...pros may have a need for snap-on quality & service, but they do pay for it!
