It all comes down to what your doing with your tools, how much are you going to use them, no point spending twenty grand on a tool kit if you are a backyard mechanic. Iam a mechanic and have been in the trade for over 25 years, a few years ago i started my own tool business selling a european brand and that company has a manufactures lifetime warranty and I never knocked back a claim. I have since gone back as a mechanic and was quite shocked when I went to ask for a replacement socket from snap-on and they refused to replace it, they recken they don't warrant tools that are worn out, will not be buying any more of thier product.
