M.T.---As far as their tools go,if you get Craftsman,they are
garanteed(sp?)for life.If you have been a mechanic,all of your
life,this is VERY important.When I was 16,I worked, for the summer,in a body shop.Two people there had,basically,the same
job.One had Craftsman tools,the other had Snap-On.The Craftsman tools outlasted the others,approx. 3-1.When I worked
at Sikorsky Aircraft,there were 3 Sears stores around the factory,
where I worked.If I broke(often)a tool at work,I could replace it
by the next day.When you have to have a helicopter,in the air,
immediately,this is very important.I always preferred Snap-On
tools.You have to wait for the toolman to come around(about
once a week)I quickly changed brands!Feeding my family,depend-
ed on doing my job.I had 3 sets of everything.One set in my car,
one set at work,& one in my motorcycle shop.When tools are your
living,price & dependability are very important! Irish
P.S.Not endorsing Sears,just Craftsman tools!
