Oh almost forgot look at the blue point ratcheting box end wrenches, still made by snap-on just half the price of the snap-on set. the set comes with 9-19mm had my set for 9 years and counting.

NOT made by snap on, nothing with the blue point logo is made by snap on. Just rebranded shit that they sell. Still good stuff though. And about the inferior quality of Mac and matco, I disagree with the matco part. I mean I try to be as unbiased as I can when it comes to brand names and tools but damn man alot of the matco stuff just blows snap on out of the water. For example I own a few matco 88 tooth ratchets, snap on only makes 80 tooth. The ratcheting action feels so much better. I've had both snap on and matco 1/4 drive electric impact wrenches, the matco one is FAR superior to the snap on. But don't think I'm a matco fanboi, I have things that I like better in the snap on variety but it's very unfair to say that matco quality is inferior to snap on. And Mac, well that shit just looks cheap haha.
