haven't broken anything of my snap on stuff yet!
thats what most of my tools consist of, i.e ratchet spanners, breaker bars, etc etc, ive picked up a neat little ratchet set from part co, its a gear rachet, and it will go over studs and will go all the way down them upto a 19mm and unlike the snap on stuff the actual ratchet mech is insured for life, not bad for £30 inc vat i dont think, found so many uses for it already

yes, but not on the ratchet mech, on anything else, but the mech is seen as a wear and tear item, so its not covered by there warranty,

also as already stated, just because it is lifetime guaranteed doesnt mean its not going to break... and it annoying to have to exchange stuff.
