ya everyone thinks about getting Snap-On...
and then i just bought a jet ratchet and an armstrong
mainly it's because i was talking to my brother and he uses his Mac ratchet daily and be was bitching and whining because it busted open while he was using it and all the guts fell out, so he talked to the Mac guy about warantying it and all they would do is order in the new innards for him. This after he spends a week trying to get a hold of the guy, and then has to wait at least another week for the parts.
His point was that if you go to a tool store or parts shop and pick up a good jet ratchet then they'll never ask questions for warranty, they'll just give you a new ratchet. It should be mentioned that he doesn't clean/oil his ratchets either.
