i have some craftsman stuff that held quite a long while. Havent used it in like a year tho. Macto are ok, i bought their top of the line wrench set and my 12mm open end broke. I havent broke a snap on wrench yet. as for the snap on rachets, i've broken 2 of them already. thats thru alot of use and abuse. Lifetime FTW! and also, he lives right down the street from me.
