Chilly,
Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for!
Just curious, what puts Hazet and Stahlwille at the front with Snap-On?
Thank you again,

Quality. There has been a long time debate as to whether Snap-On or Stahlwille is best. European vs American, basically. I find them equal and of the highest quality. I always lean towards American made. But you can't beat Lindstrom pliers, Knipex are first rate also. I don't usually pass on Swiss / German / English etc. I don't always like Spanish, Italian / mediterranean generally speaking. Gedore is a decent German brand, but most around here are made in India and are pretty rough.
I have a 3/4" Stahwille ratchet and a 3/8" Stahwille socket set, less one socket. Nice tools, very well made. The bonus is that nobody recognizes them and they can be found at great prices. Although I have found a lot of Snap-On sitting right next to Craftsman, with both having the same price.
Chilly
