I have to agree with this...I DO use craftsman and snap-on back-to-back (roommate has snap-on, i have craftsman). However, never underestimate the power of Gear Wrench. A friend's flywheel bolts were seized...he broke three sockets and two ratchets (all craftsman, i believe) on it, and then put a ratcheting gear wrench and jumped on it...gear wrench held, and broke it free. I've personally had bolts that only had 5 degrees of movement, and haven't had any way to get them off except for gear wrench (stupid MR2...grumble grumble)
However, the open-end of gear wrenches is rather weak.which is why you need the snap-on as well! :-)
