I have two chests full of Mac, Snap-on and Craftsman tools. Most of them are well over 40 years old, handed down to me by my grandfather who was a mechanic. Funny thing, the Snap-on stuff is mostly junk. The ratchets suck, and the sockets are so worn its not funny. The craftsman stuff, which my grandfather loved and used the most, while worn, are in far bette shape. They seem to have far out lasted the snap-on. The Mac box end and open end wrenches that haven't broken (only a couple) look pretty good and are still in spec. I'd say the Mac quality control leaves a bit to be desired.

As for power tools, I'll take DeWalt. Best value for the money, and a very wide variety of tools to go with your battery investment. Skip the compact crap, it's a plastic gear box. Stay with the XRP, which is a hybrid metal gearbox. I make a living off these tools.

As for electrical tools, Klein is the only thing I want in my bag. 'Cept for my Fluke meter.
