Last weekend me and Ruan were at Marks changing an engine, i bought a few tools, was undoing some nuts on a turbo, using a snap-on 10mm spanner which kept trying to round them, so got my halfords 10mm out the box, no problems at all, then got looking at the snap on tool, and you could visually see how much the snap on spanner has opened out. You could argue that the snap on spanner has done more work / had more abuse, but to be fair, the halfords spanners have been around many years, and had some serious abuse!

I admit that any cheap tools, are a waste time of time and effort, just make the job harder in the long run, but in my experiance "halfrauds" tools arnt half bad, or at least, the older ones anyway, and this isnt the first time ive had a snap on (dogs bollocks) tool wear out / fail very early in life!
