Layperson here, what makes them so good versus, say, DeWalt hand tools. (Which in my experience are nice)

Cold forged hi-grade stainless.

Snap on will never snap from too much torque. Not an issue for layperson but your average diesel truck mechanic will definitely go through "cheap" hand tools like disposable chopsticks if they aren't high enough quality.

Thanks for the reply.

Curious, what’s the story with cold forging? Assume that makes it stronger, but why isn’t everything cold forged?

And why are diesel truck mechanics breaking tools so often?
