true, I was referring to the majority of their hand tools. I think a single company also makes double box end ratcheting wrenches for all the tool brands too.
There is alot of Chinese stuff in the stores & catalog, similar to Harbor Freight, but there are some great values there. If you know the diff between Snap-On and Chinese, you can really stretch a dollar to fill up the vacant drawer in your tool chest. My last large tool purchase was Northern in Houston. Wheel dollies, furniture dolly (for rolling the engine/tranny around), shop rags & jackstands were particular prizes of my last spree. Candy store with a little coke sprinkled on, VERY addictive.
Hell all my tools are Northern, Harbor Freight, Craftsman, Snap-On, Matco, & Etc. You know what the only difference is in the tools??? Just the damn warranty. The only reason I buy Snap or a more expensive brand is if they make something the cheaper brands don't make for example, Cordless Testlight. I abuse the crap out of my tools too because I work in Diesel. Don't ever feel hesitant to buy cheap tools because if you break them, who cares. Your only out a few bucks & plus most hand tools are lifetime warranty irregardless of the brand. I got at least $8000 invested in tools excluding my $4000 matco box, you can't tell me anything about using a cheap tool. Except for a cheap electric drill & a Digital Multi-Meter, real mechanics know what i mean.
