I agree, if you wrench for money, get the best tools you can't afford yet.

I have snap-on, matco, some craftsman, and mac (which I think are JUST as good as snap-on, but about 1/3 less $$)

get a good tool box and LOCK IT when you go home, and get an engraver so you can mark EVERY TOOL YOU OWN, that way ID'ing your particular socket wrench is easy.

you will lose or have stolen more tools than you will ever wear out or break.

if you wrench for a living, tools are also tax deductable
