snap on is just the best quality though and with most tools you get a lifetime warranty. my snap on tool box is £2500 but i got for £1200 nice bit of kit though.

the main reason i use snap on is because i have an acount with them that i can buy loads of tools and just pay £50 a month. which is handy. plus the quality is the best going.
