As of now, the nicest tools I have are my US made Craftsmans with my name laser etched on them. My 3/8" is slowly dying though despite the fact that I "saved" it many times by using my cheaper less sentimental 3/8"... Such a shame.
While I appreciate nice quality things, I am poor and need to watch how I spend my money. A Snap-On ratchet used to simply keep my Jeep on the road isn't a wise move IMO.
I am sure I can find a decent quality US made ratchet for around $40, but honestly the warranty hassle is what keeps me away. HF, Lowes, random parts stores etc. would all be easier to exchange a broken tool.
There is a Saturday morning swap meet every weekend that I have been meaning to go to though. I am not above buying used things and if I can get a good deal on a quality tool, why not?
