I'd take a gearwrench any day over a craftsman that does the same thing.. Ive had them both, and the craftsman suck in comparison. As far as snap on goes, we all know its great stuff, but its often way too much money for those of us that are just weekend garage monkeys.

I have three sets, Craftsman standard, Gearwrench Standard and metric. I use the sheet out of them and don't know what I would do without them anymore.

Default Well

The best set I think is the Gearwrench brand. I have Blackhawks and like them but Gearwrench makes the Matco and Mac ones so you just as well get Gearwrench. I like the flex head ones the best.
