One nice thing about buying a Snap On is that to get it calibrated you take it to the truck and they do it. No mailing it off...
That said, I never buy off of the truck unless I have to, and look on Ebay for most of my tools like that. You can even buy a tool off of Ebay that is damaged and Snap On will usually replace it, no qestions asked.
Other companies also do this, like MAC and Proto, so its worth looking around. Craftsman is good but someone who uses their tools often its well worth moving up a bit in quality. The Snap On tools I bought while in mechanic's school in 1979 are still in "as new" condition, so when you look at their cost its cheaper to buy quality once IMHO.
