I think the Snap-Ons are the best. That being said, I do buy a lot of Evercraft (NAPA) and Great Neck (Autozone) just because they are very cheap, the stores are everywhere, and if they get stolen out of my truck or borrowed and not returned it is not as personal or painful.
If I had only had one to buy, it would be Snap-On. A much better design, plus, they do come with a life-time warranty, though you usually do not need it unless you really abuse the tool.
I am using daily/weekly Snap-On tools I bought almost 20 years ago.
The wrench in my box next to my service bay for making a living would be a Snap-On though. Just like my impact wrench would be a BluePoint, Snap-On, or IR.

>>>> Yep! I love that thing! You have to watch on a used one that the flex mechanism isn't worn out.
OK. I think I will get one... eventually. I have a couple of cheaper Taiwan ratchets, which do work, but after 10 years of shade tree mechanics I am getting better tools, that is graduating to Craftsman and S-K from cheap ChiMart junk.
