Wrench brands Quality

[Twoblackmarks...]

About 5 years ago maybe I bought a set of MAC-tools Wrenches, Knuckle-Savers. Thinking that it should be really good tools.

They worked, but they were very soft, and actually not what I expected, soft! in the open end..

Example:
Say wen you need to turn a steering arm to adjust toe-in, you usually need to use the open end. There the MAC wrenches always opened-up or slipped if it was somewhat stuck.

But with Snap-On Flank Drive they just bite in! And REALLY grip, on the Snap-On wrenches you can actually use the open end!

I thought MAC-Tools was sort of almost Snap-On-ish quality? Was I wrong?

I have some other MAC tools that is nice, but not their wrenches. Unless they have other quality standards in Europe? Its expensive here!

And yes, the open end on any wrench is usually soft and unusable on heavy stuff, unless its really big sizes.
Except SnapOns though! I have had a lot of Stahlwille, Hazet, and other good tools, but SnapOn is really the King of Wrenches, except they are very wide. Stahlwille are very slim and nice there on the other hand.
