There's no faulting the snap on quality, but like BQ said, the pros buy it because you get it on credit. 16 yr old apprentices get talked into buying £5k sets that they pay off £20/week for life. The 2 main benefits other than that are that the snap on guy comes to your shop, probably the most often out of all of the suppliers, and replaces your tools, no questions asked, and that snap on tools barely depreciate. You can sell them on for 75% of what you bought them for, and considering you've paid for them so slowly, it's almost like a mini retirement. Sell them off at the end of your career and make a huge wedge.
