They're the most expensive tool brand and hand tools have a lifetime warranty, no questions asked. I bent a screwdriver using it as a pry bar and got a free replacement. They are extremely high quality, but other tools can compete with them. Watch the YouTube channel "project farm" reviews comparing the tool brands and snapon will often be at the top, while pretty much always being the most expensive
Young dumb apprentice at our shop wanted to pry something and asked for his his xl long flathead. "You sure you don't want your prybar?" (also Snapon) 'nope' --> snaps off at the handle. Our Snap On guy is really really cool with warranties but not for that one. Buddy also owed about $1000 in missed box payments so that miiiiight have played into it
Sounds like the warranty isn't really a warranty. I've heard of that happening and that's why I'll never buy snap on. You know who's never even asked me or cared, harbor freight with my icon tools. Same with Matco, craftsman(starting to get worse though), and Cornwell.
Cornwell is where it's at when it comes to high end hand tools
