Man I had to register just to get in on this thread 
I bought a lot of my snapon back in early 70s. And yes spent most of my paycheck on them.
What I really like about my snapon tools are the slim dimensions that can really make a difference in tighter areas.
Also the details on things like extensions. And lastly the range of wrench types.
I have some Icon tools. They are ok but the wrenches are bulkier especially the box ends and it appears they just polish the heck out of them to make up for so-so forgings.
If you look at a 10mm snapon wrench and 10mm Icon its pretty obvious the snapon forging took very little polishing compared to the Icon.
The Nepros are a notch higher. You can see they did not require much polishing yet have a tidy slim functional design.
Besides SO and Nepros anyone find wrench brand with clean tidy details and good range of wrench types?
