I say snap on...I too get that 52% off deal...and plan on dropping close to 8 g's before i'm out of school. I've used all of the above mentioned, and the feel and usefulness of snap on versus others is definitely superior. snap on sockets are thinner walled so they will get into more places, the wrenches arent nearly as thick as the competitors and with that flank drive nonsense the chances of rounding a bolt are slim to none...unless youve got the wrong size. I personally prefer IR air guns...but as far as hand tools...snap on for the win.
