You buy the tools you like best, but to this day working part time as a tech I would never spend that kind of money and I look at these kids that come in to it today and owe the snap on guy like 10k or more just for the stupid tool box. Screw that I can get the job done with crafstman or sk any day.
my thoughts exactly....my dads been a backyard mechanic for many years and has a garage full of craftsman with no complaints....and now i have been buying my own and i think theyre great....and the ONLY problem i have with them is that they dont have vendors so i have to go get them myself...

and my buddy whose been working at STS for awhile has about 20 grand worth of snap-on tools and has been paying it off for years but still has 8 to go when he could of got 2 or 3 times the tools from craftsman haha

as for impact guns i use ingersol rand....although mine just crapped out so i might get a craftsman one but i dunno how good they are compared to IR
