I agree, for the pro, snap-on, mac, and matco are the only
way to go. For us shadetree wrenches, craftsman is just
fine. The kobalt and whatever home depot sells are pretty
nice too.

Love the "73 Eldo Puzzle" signature!

 Make a million a two in your spare time! Sell your OEM
toolkit to
generate much needed cash. Compare your toolkit to what
SnapOn has
offered
(http://buy.snapon.com/catalog/search.ASP?PartNo=CYCLESET1)
and
you will see that your LoopFrame is simply a vintage
cash cow!

Pay particular notice to how well the items listed by
SnapOn are the
most useful for 99% of the bikes on the road....

I just thought I'd through some kindling on this thread
:).

Once upon a time, I was a mechanic at a car dealership.
I started with
Craftsman tools. Snapon tools were VERY expensive. The
MAC tool guy also
came to the shop.

I occasionally borrowed some tools of varying brands from
teamates in the
shop. IMO, Snapon tools are also far superior to most
other brands. I
could mention some of the nit-picky differences for
anyone who is happy to
argue.

I don't know how many times I've heard people say
"Snapon? they're
ridiculous. Craftsman has liftetime garauntee - same
tool!" - NOT

Are they worth the extra money?
For the amount I tool around today? definately not.
As a full time mechanic? most of
the time, yes.
