(ok snap on offer lifetime guaruntee, but when your paying 3x the price on most things, they can afford to.)
also with licensing rights etc, snap-on and mac get the pick of the bunch first with products, but after a while, the same identical tools crop up from the likes of laser/draper/kamasa/rolson (same company [tool conection]), britool etc, and usually at a much reduced price. I now buy most of my tools from machine mart for price and through laser etc if machine-mart dont stock them yet. ive lost count how many laser tools ive exchanged for identical snap-on ones though! thats a sneaky way of blinging up your collection though!!!
Yeh, machine mart rocks......
