Something that you tool shoppers don't realize is that the reason that Snapon/Mac etc do well with the professional mechanics is that they come to where they work and they have the tools they need. If every time a mech needed a tool and had to go to the mall or hardware stores searching for it he would have more time/money/ involved than getting what he needed off the truck. Also, the proper tool for the job is available with the arrival of new auto technology, doesn't require waiting years or inprovising with vicegrips and a prybar---

While being INSULTINGLY overpriced, well you get what you pay for

Example of Sears---this weekend I neede a 1" crowsfoot for a tubing nut---Sears has a SET that goes to 1" but doesn't sell them separately---around $80 for the set--verus aprox $20 for the one I need from a truck--who's overpriced????
