Cornwell or Snap On Angle Wrenches?
 
Which would you guys buy and why? I am looking at Cornwells WA21s set which goes from 1/4"-1 1/2" and Snap On's VS814S set which goes from 3/8"-1 1/4".Prices Cornwells 838.62 on sale down from 1,038.62 or Snap On's at 668.30.I've heard Snap on has angles of 15,60,and I believe 30. Cornwell has 15,60 only.The Cornwells sale ends December 31st.So any help is greatly Appreciated.

From what I have heard, and experienced, the Snap-On's have the best angles. I have 3/8" to 1 1/4" and they have gotten almost everything I need them to. By no means can you buy the other 4 Snap-On wrenches to get up to 1 1/2" for the difference in price, but I strongly believe the Snap-On's will reach more places. You may be able to strike a deal with your Snap-On dealer to get the remaining 4 wrenches and have a final price equal to the Cornwells.

My opinion is that you buy the tools that will be the easiest to get warrantied. Whose tool truck do you know you'll be able to find when it breaks?

I travel for work and can typically find a SnapOn truck easier than I can find all the rest of their competitors put together. But if I liked the Cornwell guy and had faith he'd keep coming around every week, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him.

It sucks to be a tool orphan...

My Cornwell guy comes to my town every other Thursday.He's a great dealer thats why I hate having to buy Snap on tools.Though good tools I like Cornwells wrench better but Snap On has the extra angle.Perhaps What I could do is get a combo of the 2 sets buy the Snap On for all the way to 1 1/4" and the rest Cornwell.Not too often past 1 1/4" that I'd need the extra angle.
