Ratchet tool > ratchet hoe

i prefer snap-on sockets and wrenches because of what they call 'flank drive'. they hold on to the bolts better than regular sockets do. as for the rest of the tools, all three brands work well.

Pick whichever. They are all good. Whichever fits the budget. Mac toolboxes though.

I love my snap-on. Had craftsman before would never use one again. A lot of marine technicians use the snap on because the corners of nuts and bolts corrode off and the flank drive is all that will work.

Really any of the three are good, and similarly priced. But the service from my snap on guy was awesome.

Snap On all the way. Because I can pay low weekly payments and I don't have to leave to get them.

everyone digs snap on. theres a difference when you buy a $150 ratchet and a ratchet from a $150 craftsman tool set. yee!

Our snap on rep is a tool (no pun intended) and that alone makes no one want to deal with them. Matco is the preferred brand in the shop. I like craftsman tho
