But then, both Snap-On and Mac are something like 4X+ the cost of any of those others for no where near 4X the quality these days. Snap-On is popular with some businesses that can write off their tool expenses, but they're too expensive for most hobbyists who would actually use them.

I've been a little dismayed to see the tools offered in the big box stores dwindling in recent years. You're forced to look and order online for a shipping fee or a "Ship-to-store" a few days later but if you head out to buy something for use that day it's usually not in stock. Difficult Tool Times we live in (with apologies to Tim Allen!)
