I bet your right, Full set of snap-ons costs about half as much as the Evo MSRP.


I go to Sears and buy as needed. I'm not sure what I've got wrapped up in Craftsman at this point. It would probably scare me but nearly as much as Snap-On, Mac, or S&K would have been.

Did anyone see that video of a Civic where they put the seriously overboosted hydraulics on it, and the car flipped? Even on its roof the force was so strong it was rocking the car. I think the guy inside got hurt too, not sure on that one.

In all honesty Craftsman is almost as good as Snap-On in my experience, only a fraction of the cost, you don't have to wait around for the Snap-On van to come around if you break something, and Craftsman tools are free to trade-in.

I was doing a job that required this bastard of a snap ring to be put on, and I broke 3 snapring pliers trying to do it. The last snapring pliars trade-in was at about 8:55pm on a Saturday. If I would have bought Snap-On snapring pliars, maybe it would have broken, maybe it wouldn't have. But if it DID break, I would have just been SOL instead of being able to finish the job.

So there is something to be said for Craftsman tools.

I'm trying to find it on the net, it used to be "flipped civic" but that doesn't seem to find anything. It was one of the most retarded things I've ever seen. I was laughing so hard I cried for like 10 minutes the first time I saw it. The look on the guys face is priceless, he definitely crapped himself.
