I just replaced an old 3/4" combo wrench with the top of the line Proto, long type, full polish, six point .... for $23. Worth every penny to me.
I tend to do better work when I have better tools ... not because the tool works better, but for some reason I use them more thoughtfully, carefully and don't rush through things.
Craftsman use to make a heck of a tool, back when Blue Point was making most of their stuff ... which I think was originally who made tools for Snap-On. Then I think Snap-On bought them, and spun them off into two lines ... less expensive Blue Point, more expensive Snap-On ... then I think Blue Point disappeared for decades ... I think someone may be making tools with that name on them again.
