Snap-on is fantastic. These are the tools we use in the world of aviation in the Navy. I have seen these tools beaten to death while working on F-14 Tomcats, and F/A-18 Superhornets.
The only problem I have come across with them is that the 'chrome plating' has flaked off on some spanner wrenches.

Yes, the snap-on tools have a lifetime warranty but so do many others including craftsman. The problem with snap-on is the average person has a hard time claiming the warranty. If you work at a shop that has a regular scheduled snap-on truck, they are the great. My father is a heavy-machinery mechanic carrying around well into the 6 figures worth of tools at all times on his truck. The majority are snap-on and mac.
But... For all those expensive tools, most of his tool boxes are craftsman professional. They last very hard use.

Exactly what I was going to say!!!
$800 up here in Canada, an awesome unit. heavy gauge metal, very durable ball-bearing sliders on the drawers, upright tool hangers for certain oddly shaped tools, slide-out work surface, hydraulic piston-assisted top cover, overall an awesome unit.
I can't remember the brand, but I don't think you can beat the quality for even 2-4 times the price they're selling it for.

^^ Actually, USD currency from as long as I can remember is worth more than CAD. Recently though, it's coming to almost even now. Quick google search as of now $1.00 USD = $1.01050011 CAD.
