Couldn't agree more. I don't do this professionally to justify owning snap on. Craftsman gets the job done and if a tool breaks during a install, sears is only 15 min away for me. I can go get it exchanged and run home and finish the job. I don't think u can do that with snap on. Probably have to call it in and get a rga and send it in. Which can probably take weeks before getting it back.

You can't get one that does everything.
Torque wrenches are pretty cheap now. I think I saw a digital craftsman 1/2 and 3/8 for 99.99 2 weeks ago at sears.
