When I first started working as a Mechanic in the early 70's, I worked for a very savy gentleman from Ireland...he taught me to buy only the best.. i've got Snap On screw drivers and wrenches that are over 40 years old....they never round a nut or strip a screw... on the otherhand, I've got a "shop" box here at the plant, everyone and his brother is dipping into the till...so I keep it stocked with lesser name screw divers, sockets and wrenches.. all made in china.... I've seen them snap, strip and bend....
as far as Klien tools go.. I've got a few of my electrical tools that have some age on them, my lines man pliars have been to hell and back.. even snipped a few live wires....and are sharp enough to strip 14 ga. wire...I cant say that about the Wal-mart specials I keep on the boat and toss away at the end of the season..
