I have SnapOn, MAC, and Craftsman. The finish is best with MAC and SnapOn. Craftsman less so, more hard edges, lower quality finish. All of them have lifetime garrantee With MAC and SnapOn you need to have the rep handy to get this garrantee, and they will only replace the broken part of the tool(Break the ratchet mech in a ratchet and all you get is the gear box. Sears will get you a whole new tool. However, you need to make sure it is actually "Craftsman", they sell a bunch of stuff that doesn ot have the lifetime warrantee and some of the Craftsman branded stuff only has a year warrantee(I have a 23 year old timing light that only came with a year warrantee, of course it still works fine)
