I think my next big tool purchase will be some snap on hex sockets.  I think the ten piece set is $170.   

my favorite non moto/mechanic tool : starret combo square

I have a Husky Mechanics set from Home Depot. A lot of people talk shit about Husky but I have never had a problem with any of their tools...

anybody know about bicycle tools?

one of the bike shops i worked at had one of these, no one else realized the value of these tools so i basically had to hide from most of the employees.  and when i left i may have accidentally left a spanner or two in my own tool box... got to remember to return them one of these days  Wink Wink

(pic from interwebs, ours was in much nicer shape from what i can see)


one of these kits just sold for over $3k on ebay  Shocked

No. And I don't think I own anything worth that much, either. Bike included.

For those tha think snap-on is unobtainable, keep an eye on fleabay.  You can typically find new stuff for 50% off the truck.

You can find good used for even less than that.

Great, now I just created more bidding competition for myself.

My only problem with snap-on is not working where they regularly stop.

I have a couple snap on wrenches and a ratchet that are broken, and am having a hell of a time getting them replaced.

Found a local distributor in the phone book, but he won't exchange my shit because I didn't buy it from him.

And I' don't think I should have to pay ship it anywhere.

I wondered about that for the non every day mechanic who is 20k in debt to the snap-on truck driver.

 I bought all of my snap-on stuff when I worked 'full time' at a big garage during summers in highschool.  Now that I don't live there, I was wondering if I would run into problems trying to exchange tools.

I worked the last 3 years abusing my tools.  Water, corrosive chemicals, rusty parts that required some not so recommended uses, etc...

I used Craftsman for those three years, and only had one tool fail... a screwdriver. Have to give props to sears... they truly live by their "no questions asked" policy.

Don't get me wrong, Snap-On makes great tools.  But for the home user, Craftsman seems to make more sense. They're less expensive, and being able to run to sears for exchange instead of tracking down a truck makes things more simple.  Unless of course you don't have a local Sears store.

Hmm, I'm moved a couple times, so I've changed snap-on guys a couple times and I've never had a problem with him shipping out tools for me (ones that I didn't purchase through him).  Usually, I'll just meet him at one of his stops (wherever he is when I call him) and then he waits for me, we do the business and I go on my way.  I've never had any problem like yours...

I'm an aircraft mechanic and I mainly use craftsman tools.  There good tools at a decent price.  Snap-on may make them better, but they cost SO much more.
