    Opinion on Professional tool sets.

    Snap-On or Matco. Matco is a little cheaper but quality wise just as good or better than Snap-On, with certain tools of course. No one manufacturer has all the best tools. Me personally I like to pick and choose from different manufacturers on who I think has the best tool in that I'm looking for.

    Snap-On Part 7in Cutters # 87CF I have those and the 11in. Heavy Duty ones. When you hold them you will automatically fell quality. They are built very sturdy and have great leverage. There is no play in their joints either. The way the cutting jaws are designed give you more pressure applied at...
