Back when I was in the USMC, I worked part of the time in the "Tool Room" of a Helicopter Squadron. We had all kinds of "cheap" tools - Blackhawk, Lobster, Echo, and a dozen other brands you've never heard of. At one point, everyone was complaining about them. Everyone wanted Snap-OFF tools. It took us a couple months, but we finally got the OK from higher up. We would be on a "6 month trial basis" with Snap-OFF. We got our new, high priced tools (same sizes and ranges as the old stuff), and put the mixed bag stuff into storage. It wasn't long before we RAN OUT of common Snap-OFF tools while we waited on the truck to come back. We went from breaking 3-4 tools a week with the old stuff, to 5-6 a DAY with Snap-OFF. Needless to say, the Snap-OFF experiment didn't last the full 6 months..... The only thing good about them is the warranty, because you will need it. I still have a couple of Snap-OFF tools left from that debacle....Started out with a full set of wrenches (1/4" to 1 1/2"). I think the only ones I have left are the 3/8" and the 1/2". Everything else has either stripped out or broken. I have 2 sets of the "mixed bag" tools from the same era - I've only broken a couple of them over the same time. I haven't used the last two Snap-OFF's for years, for fear they will break. Harbor Frieght tools last longer, and hold up better than Snap-OFF, and at 1/4 the price, or less. That's just my experience....
