Snap on are great tools, but not worth the price if you're just using them as a home mechanic.

Snap on tools are great. Just like park tools are great. A cheap 10mm spanner or a cheap 4mm hex key are ok for use once.......then they become a 10ish mm spanner or a 3.9mm hex bolt rounding off tool. You get what you pay for with tools. With Park and snap on they are guaranteed for life in normal use. So that one tool that costs you £100 you should never need to replace.

Yeah, I understand. I'm all for good quality and don't mind paying extra for such, as I know they will last. It's just that there is still a bit of a difference between Park Tool prices and Snap On.

Good shout on the trade card. I actually know a mechanic, may ask him.
