I've broken at least 3 craftsman ratchets, I have yet to break any of my snap on ones. I've only broken one snap on socket, and that was because I abused the ever loving crap out of it. I've broken more craftsman impact sockets (3) than I have snap on non impact sockets. and I do sometimes use non impact sockets on the gun. in my experience, craftsman just doesn't work out for me. if it works for you, great. I'm sure you'll save a ton of money on tools over what I spend. but after three years of doing this I cant tell you how many times I've been grateful to be rid of a lot of my craftsman stuff.

Well you do have me there in the fact that i have not been doing this for as long as you have so maybe i will see the durability issues...so who knows maybe my perceptions will change after a few years but as for now i am content with my set...

that truck is convenient though so im sure i'll have a nice snap-on bill in no time
