Sammy, have you ever used Snap-On tools?
I'll admit Joe Schmoe doesn't need them to work on his Murray mower this weekend. But a case can be made for judging a mechanic by the tools in his box.
But I guess if you have to buy their tools they're not traditional mechanics.

I'll say this: Snappy makes some unique stuff that only they have. Nowadays they may be the only tools made in USA.

I like Snap on socket wrenches, except when trying to remove the socket with a greasy hand. Sucks.
