+1 if your planning on keeping tools that will last you a lifetime or use tools for a career, id stick with snap-on, mac, and some matco. yea there expensive now, but you will have them for a damn long time. definently get your moneys worth.

had most of my craftsmen for over 15 years now.
![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif) everyone seems to think if you use tools for a living you need snap-on, mac or matco, just isn't true. like i said in the other post. i have snap-on & mac also. just not worth the money to pay 10x the cost for the same wrench when they can be taken back and exchanged for no cost. but when it comes to specialized tools, i always buy snap-on or mac.. craftsmen just don't have everything you need for some cars..

having wrenched with all three brand 40+hours a week for a few years (snap on matco and crapsmen) there is no comparison to snapon or matco, even the snap on blue point line is great, broken several crapsmen ratchets plus they have about half the engagement points of snap on, which in tight spaces make a huuuge difference. my .02.

Proto tools. Without question they are the BEST money can by.
Over the past 13 years as an avaiation technician, Ive used all the tools listed above, and Proto stands alone.

Go take it to sears. They've taken my broken sockets before. The register area has a box of broken tools. They should exchange no problem. You got some bad luck. I've never had a rachet break on me.
