I've seen Craftsman punches look like needles after a while. That's why I plan on either going with Matco or Snap-On for most of my tools I use on a regular basis.
snap-on is overpriced ... 90% of their tools are imported. when i was on the road for my company my biggest shop was owned by a snap-on dealer and him and i became good friends. believe me, you are getting nothing special with snap-on tools but a name. they break just as easily as most the other brands out there. i've broken plenty of snap-on tools doing jobs they should not have broken on.
sk > snap-on & matco
not trying to knock your set cuz that chest does look mighty fine and snap-on does have a lot of nifty lil specialty tools though
