    "For this quarter" pays. "For this century" does not.

    I would too. Value is "bang for your buck" and these appear to be able to accept any level of usage you can muster.

    How did Snap On become the standard?

    So what? What you actually placed value on was not having to buy any of the tools that you used, not the high price tag Snap on has compared with the lower priced and equally "valuable" tools. Value is in layman's terms "bang for your buck".
