Snap-on air tools are horrible, Bluepoint line is better in air tools.
As far as hard line tools, like wrenches and sockets..Snap-on is the best.

I use Craftsman mostly because Sears is close at hand if I should need a replacement. I have Craftsman stuff in my box that is well over 25 years old.

I have some Snap-on stuff but since the Snap-on man doesn't come by my house, it's kinda hard to get something replaced or repaired.

snap on is the norm.confortable in hand, is tough and strong.mac tool is too edgy and thicker than snap on talking here about wrenches.

snap op ratchets have a better handle. the ones that aren't equipped with the rubber handle. mac tool well i hate their ratchets.old design and the head is just to big when you want to work in tight spots. --craftsman tools for me is ok for the house.---
snap on sockets you can easily read the size mac tool hardly printed over. they are not enough deep also.
snap on has a better grip when it comes to screwdrivers their handle ergonomic is better here than the mac tool. their design dates to the 60's . facom has the best screwdrivers. once you hold that screwdriver in your hands you just won't hold anything else.i use my tools everyday and snap on has my vote.

My future tool purchases will not be Craftsman. :(

This.

My most used metric sets are Facom, Snappy, and Matco.

The rest are Gearwrench, Crafstman, and Harbor Freight.

And LOL at the unsuspecting tech who just started working and gets into debt by buying a $10k box when the tool truck stops visits...

Craftsman all the way
