No offense, Mike. But I think most living human beings will grab a
Snap On wrench before a HF version. I do understand the need to support your employer.;-) 

I have a pile of HF tools as well and try to visit at every opportunity. They obviously have a good enough business model to be able to afford corporate aircraft. I am happy to throw in my few cents towards that every so often.

What you're paying for is the service of the tool guy coming by your shop every week. Now that I'm older and wiser, and better with my money, I have a Whole Pile of HF tools. I find them to be perfectly adequate and reliable. But out of habit, I always reach for my Snap On wrenches and ratchets.
