motorcycle tool supply

With regard to 'sloppy' tolerances of craftsman tools, has anyone ever measured this against say Snap On? I suspect this is a myth.

Also, wonder how Kobalt, Task Force, and Husky compare too?  I've got a toolbox full of Kobalt & Task Force tools.  Never had a sloppy fit issue that I could see or feel ~

Or possibly the tool is perfectly within spec and the bolt/allen/nut/etc is a subject of poor tolerance, thus making the tool in question seem off.

I think the slop that alot of people are referring to is in the ratcheting mechanism...I can feel a definite difference in my ratchets between the cheapo chinese one I found and threw in my box (for to loan out to people) and the Husky one I have and the Snap-On ones I have that I choose to use all the time....less clicks per turn in some of the cheaper mechanisms and the engagement isn't as smooth when switching forward/reverse and so forth...I can go on...but if you don't wrench alot and don't feel or think of these things...then your ignorance of them is pure bliss and you should relish that!
