Park Tools aren't really "best" when comparing their quality and hardness to premium automotive tooks like Snap-On.

Are Park Tools good? Sure. There's so much cheap crap tools out there (i.e. HarborFreight), it doesn't take much to stand out to be better.

Because I dived into automotive work before bike wrenching, automotive tools need to be more demanding to handle the most stubborn overtorqued fasteners that one would rarely find on a bike. The hardness of a tool is your best friend.

My experience allows me to appreciate a quality tool and usually opt for the best. Some Park Tools make it into my drawers. Most of them will never.

I don't make a religion out of it and really couldn't care less what others like or use.

I know what I like, my money can afford it, my tools make money for me.
