I had this gem below in my bookmarks. For those wondering, this $70 penlight features an FDA-approved mouthpiece.

Gucci of tools is right. God do I hate Snap-On. How many times have we seen an apprentice mechanic with a $30,000 tool box and just as much in tools. The toolbox in my shop cost less than $2000, is 80% as good as a Snap-on and takes up half a wall.
Ah Snap-Off, not as good as they once were...
Adam Savage from Mythbusters said something that I thought was absolutely genius. Don't buy expensive tools. Buy everything cheap. When the cheap one breaks, then replace it with the expensive tool.
That was my philosophy long before I heard of Mr. Savage. Especially for tools I didn't expect to use a lot. If I wind up using it enough to wear it out or break it, it was obvious I needed a better tool. The money saved on the little used tools easily pays for the higher use quality tools.Quote:

Heck, neither Snap-on nor Craftsman have a lifetime warranty anymore but..... Harbor Freight does, the proverbial paradigm shift.
My kid won't be going to college, but my Snap-On guy's kid is going to Harvard or Princeton...Quote:
