*****!
I have a couple large roll around tool boxes filled with Snap-On, Mac, Craftsman, SK (Snap On micro turn box ends, slim line open ends, stubby box/opens etc etc).
I also have a chinese HF bead roller ($100 vs $500), large cheap box end wrenches (many of which I have ground on and cut to fit a particular one time use odd job), chinese HF 12v winch on my 4-wheeler to operate my occasional use snowplow ($49 vs $300 for a Warn), chinese hole punch set for occasional sheet metal hole punching, chinese electronic calipers (along with name brand dial type and various name brand micrometers).
No one would likely laugh at my shop or tool collection, but if you want to spend $100 + on a Snap on large wrench to loosen one 36mm nut instead of spending $20 bucks for a 1 7/16" chinese wrench to do the one time job..... well then more power to ya!
