Pro use, I would always say Snp on, I love the quality, shape and feel of the basic handtools and toolboxies

Quality aint cheap, but if its youre lliving, its a different matter.

I still use all my Snap on gear I bought 38 years ago.....

See thread title

Mm, OK, so I've not bought lately. Are you intimating they have lowered quality ?

Nope, just that your post hasn't met the brief.

Have you read the thread title yet? Your post completely misses the question being asked.

Hiya

Just thought I would add to this.

Most of my spanners are Facom, of the older style (40 series). I like them.

I bought a few newer ones (440 series). They look nicer. However the jaws are bulkier, and I prefer the older ones.

I also have some of the open socket wrenches, 75 series. These are really useful to have. The new ones of these still seem to be same basic design, but the finish now seems rougher

All the best
