Read that sentence above again. How many of your grandkids will be using your Harbor Freight tools in 70 years?
I keep a set of Snap On Sockets, a few wrenches, a multi screw driver, and a Snap On ratchet in my tool roll that I take with me on road trips. Nothing worse than trying to make an emergency repair somewhere with crappy cheap tools that will likely break making a bad situation worse.
Not everything I own is Snap On but I am a believer in quality tools.

I disagree, Snap On has a convoluted distribution system that adds a lot of unnecessary cost to the end user.
Just look at the prices of old models when they become Williams branded. They sell for a third as much new. So obviously I've bought a bunch of these
My main ratchet is a 3/8" long flex head Snap On that my grandfather gave me. It's a nice tool but would I pay over a hundred dollars for a modern equivalent? No way. And he certainly didn't acquire it with future generations in mind, he didn't even know what it was other than a broken ratchet.
