If you plan on making a living using your tools then you should man up and get the good stuff. Snap on, Mac, Matco, etc....

You must have a small box if all you have is 35K 
I have spent about $35000, but I get alot of stuf used or off ebay so I actually have more then that. But like I said, I only need metric stuff, and I have damn near everything I need.

i actually prefer craftsman mechanics sets over snap on. not the shitty craftsman you buy at sears but the **** u have to order. good ****. snap on tools well they like to snap because they try to make them smaller so they fit into a tighter space.

I promise you I could have obliterated a craftsman tool working on Freightliners and ancient Ford CO2000 series (3208 Cat) They would die a horrid horrid death.
Plus there's the fact that the snap-on driver would show up on a weekly basis to fix stuff, bring new stuff and what not.
It was like a little bit of Christmas.
AND if you did manage to obliterate something you could call the Snap-On guy and he'd run to where you were to replace it. Less down time.
And they feel nice yadda yadda. . .

Plus, I'm with 93 R1 also, Craftsman break a bit more easily than Snap On tools.
To the original poster of this thread, thats actually a good price for a ratchet/socket set.

but craftsman is perfect for people who dont need to use them extensivley everyday. for instance they have a set with 61 sockets, with 1/4 1/2 and 3/8 drive's and 12 specialty tools for $70. not on sale.
