That's good. Pay to play.

I have 100% Craftsman. My good friend has 70% snap-ons, and 30% craftsman.

I've used the Snap-ons all the Time, and I do believe that They are OVERATED. And I don't think they have a good deal anyway. For hand tools, Craftsman is much cheaper, and more convienient~. IF you break the Snap-on how the heck are you going to get a replacement~?Hunt down the Snap-on truck?

I like craftsman, dewalt, and snap on is okay~

Well, this is how i see motor oil: If my car is Stock, I run Castro High mileage. If i had a high performance ride, like an FD, STI, i'd run full synthetic.

I run on all my N/A cars:

1: K&N Drop in or Cone filters2. Castro or Chevron 10/30 20/503. NGK V powers4. NGK Ig. Wires

These work really well, more than enough.

Too much oil won't fry the gasket, too little oil will fry it. And as far as that magic tool goes, that was the FIRST tool I bought when I got my job at my shop.(I already had plenty of tools from school, but I didn't do oil changes daily so it wasn't necessary.)

i think if your not a mechanic and dont use them everyday u dont realize how much of a better quality snap-on is over craftsmen. not saying craftsman is not good, i have quite a bit of craftsman tools myself but do prefer snap-on. and if u are a mechanic and work in a reputable shop, the snap on truck should visit you weekly anyways so its actually more of an inconvience for me to get my craftsman tools replaced. half the time sears is out of stock of the stuff that breaks.

you would love snap-on tools if you worked i cars all day like i do. once you start your tools constantly all day, you see why it pays to pay for the quality tools. craftsman is crap in my book but then again i work on cars for a living.

i saw that before, and no joke..i really didnt' see how it'd be better than what i had. dah bt its off, and im not complaining, stupid mistake

and i got craftsman because my dads set that he bought after he got out of the navy, still are in amazing shape, straight off the shelf...then again i also shaddered one taking the axle nut off an altima

affordable, well built, and available everywhere..its why i like them..but i wont lie..if i could, i's hunt down some nice MAC tools, or snap-on..i think they are the best in the book, but im just a weekend warrior..its not my monthly earnings riding on them, or else i would

Why would you want to run higher viscosity oil than what nissian specified?
