I&#x27;ve never used a Snap-On tool; that always seemed like a scam. I have an HF torque wrench that&#x27;s got to be 10yo by now. It still works, but I don&#x27;t really ask much of it. Bicycle stuff, usually, with an occasional top-mounted oil filter on a diesel engine (the latter only because everything is plastic now, and one wants neither to break something nor to have oil dripping all over; in the days of steel I would have just gripped a short wrench halfway off the axis and pulled hard). If I were rebuilding transmissions I&#x27;d have a good torque wrench. I&#x27;ve broken enough wrenches that I can pretty much tell when it&#x27;s going to happen, and now I stop before that point. For that reason, it&#x27;s probably true that an HF wrench is at least 90% as useful as any other. I have yet to really pull on an HF wrench that I would call &quot;excellent&quot;, however. Various hammers and chisels I&#x27;ve purchased have all lost their shape after just a bit of hard use.<p>I have HF power tools, but there&#x27;s something slightly <i>off</i> about each of them, whether that&#x27;s a flimsy plastic body, a saw blade arbor that moves around, or whatever. I don&#x27;t use any of them on even a monthly basis. If I did, I would upgrade. Everything my brother has borrowed for a job has quickly failed. He doesn&#x27;t buy much at Harbor Freight.<p>I have a Craftsman cordless drill that has lasted <i>forever</i>; it predates the tiny b&amp;w Makita drills all the contractors have been using for years now. Since the battery is old-fashioned dry cell rather than lithium, I just took it to Ellis Battery for a rebuild when it failed.
