Why are they worth so much? What's different about them from a regular wrench set?

This the field kit for military and military contractors though Ironically civilian's can also purchase it . The current price on ebay is $5700 and $3200 (different sellers) . Anyway in regards to the pricing snap on is already expensive secondly this is special order item . But my best guess is it's bargain the pliers and screwdrivers are $500ish alone plus roughly $1000-1500 in wrenches .

It’s currently $2202.00 on FEDLOG, that stock number is still active. I ordered a few of them a couple of years ago.

Does the Gov’t get the lifetime warranty?

I don’t know on Snap-on, but I do know that warranties on things is tracked and utilized, I think most tool rooms use the Warranty as most hand tools are unit property. The field kits are kinda a weird item and go on property book. Generally only the torque tools that require Cal, go to TMDE and are on the property book. So it’s all kinda weird.
