YEEEEAAHHHHH
Mind you I love my 2 Snap-On 3/8ths ratchets. I had two older Craftsman ones as I got into the trade, but quickly swapped them for Snap-On. Almost all my speciality sockets (German cars are all about weird shit) are Hazet, MAC, Snap-On, VIM or Lisle. I had a few left over Craftsman hex sockets, but broke most of them my first month.
But almost all my 3/8ths chrome stuff is still mostly Craftsman as its not loaded as much as the 1/2" sockets and I honestly don't have the cash to go out and buy a full size flank drive Snap-On socket set.
One thing that I swear by and some people don't know about are pressurized cooling system fill tools. I used our shop one for about a month and then bought a Matco one along with a pressure tester. Newer cars basically require it, and it makes filling stuff a breeze.
As a lot of older techs will say - you make a lot of your own tools as well. I have a 24mm and 36mm box wrench bent to fit inside crank pulleys to turn cranks and a cut down 22mm wrench for 02 sensors.
