Is it a quality brand made in the US? Do they actually manufacture the tools in the US or is it a matter of getting the gear from Asia and then putting a sticker on it? If they do R&D in the US I suppose there is some cred to it, however in the long run that must pose a problem the more you are disattached from actual floor work because many good ideas appear there and not in front of a computer... Optimally you'd like the floor AND the computer! -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Mechanics (for instance) will buy tools they need from the driver of the truck. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Herbrand is apparently gone - I still see the MAC trucks on the road. I bought a fair bit of Herbrand years ago. Ralph Clark was the local dealer for as long as I can remember, and there was no nicer, more accomodating guy in the business. He was a lot easier to deal with than the numerous Snappies that came and went - the prices were better than Snappy, and the quality was excellent. My original base tool kit was Craftsman back in 1969. |

Optimally you'd like the floor AND the computer! Snap-on is a tool manufacturer that sells top grade tools, and very expensive tools they are too. They also own at least one company that makes and sells a cheaper brand. They guarantee their tools. I can't say for private owner but for one project, where "Snap-on or equal" was specified we bought about $100,000 worth of tools and for the entire 10 year contract shipped any tool that broke to them in Jakarta and they shipped the replacement back to the site. No questions asked. |

Five bucks today and five next week and you are the owner of this stunning box wrench :-) It took a pretty strong willed mechanic to withstand the lure :-) |
