For the weekend DIY'er you can't beat the value of Craftsman tools. Yes, the quality is not what it used to be but the lifetime warranty coupled with the multitude of Sears locations where you can exchange broken tools makes up for that. Also have to remember, Sears stores are open on the weekend so you can go and get a brand new tool if one breaks in the middle of your weekend project...a little harder to do with Snap-on or Mac. Plus I've never been hassled when returning tools at Sears, they simply take the broken tool and give you a new one no questions asked.
I'd love to own a set of Snap-on or the like but there simply is no reason for me to buy such expensive tools since they will not see enough use to justify their cost.
