Snap-On Tools are the big boys, the choice of the professional mechanic, but the price of their tools and their availability, is a drawback. One of their primary competitors in the tool world is Sears Craftsman, which has also become known for their excellent build quality. Which one of these two companies is the better choice for the consumer? In short, Sears tools are extremely high quality, and significantly cheaper, but Snap-On is generally considered the very best quality, when nothing but the best will do.
So what are the specifics behind why Snap-On Tools is the best tool company out there? First of all, they just have more tools than Sears Craftsman. Home mechanics generally buy their first tools in sets, and thus they want as many tools as they can possibly get from their tool store (advantage: Sears, which specializes in tool sets). But Snap-On Tools is dedicated to providing the newest, best tools on the market. It is easy for them, as well, since all that their company focuses on is tools The mother company of Sears Craftsman Tools has so much going on that it is difficult for them to retain their full focus on developing and providing consumers with the best tools on the market.
Snap-On Tools sold only in special trucks that deliver tools to mechanics at repair shops, offer tools of all sorts. If you need hand tools they have them in droves. If you need large, power tools then they have those as well. That is a selling point for people who support Snap-On Tools over Sears Craftsman Tools - Snap-On has every single tool a mechanic needs.
Snap-On Tools is an interesting company because it takes a great deal of pride in finding and developing the best new products for consumers. They are constantly ahead of the curve when it comes to new products, so consumers get a chance to have the best and newest in their hands before anyone else does. That is not to say that Sears Craftsman sits on their heels and waits for the products to come out. They also employ a talented staff of people to investigate new ideas. However, Sears Craftsman focuses on the home mechanic, who doesn't need the super-specialized tools that a professional occasionally needs.
The Snap-On Tools versus Sears Craftsman Tools debate is one that can go either way, depending upon who you are and where your loyalties lie. Cost? Definitely Sears (about a third the price). Widest range of choice? Snap-On. Quality? Snap-On is literally the top of the line, and the choice of professional mechanics. If you are a home mechanic, it's just a matter of deciding whether you want to pay $10 for a wrench, or $35. The $35 Snap-On will be theoretically better, but with a lifetime warranty, the Sears tools are close behind (and a third cheaper.)
