Sounds like you had a tight supplier. We used screwdrivers as chisels for a lot of things as they're under the warranty. Chisels arent. We got on with our supplier quite well. If they can't fix something under warranty then it'll be replaced. When I took my ratchet driver to the van he wasn't sure if the mech was still available as it as so old. I was hoping it wasn't so that I could get a nice shiny new one. What I got back was lovely. 30yrs old and still gong.
Story over. Snap-On are good but obviously there are other companies out there producing as good as or better tools. Mac, Teng, Halfords, Draper. Mac and Snap-On pliers are both made by Knipex, the Mac design is better. Blue-Point is the 'value' version of Snap-On. The company was bought by Snap-On many years ago, they continued to use the name for their cheaper range. A bit like Draper and Draper Expert.
