Two interesting things as a result of your post, Isaac. Make shorter link is
really interesting. Fun to read their description of themselves too.

The Craftsman set is the same price as the Snap-On set and looks very much
like they came out of the same factory. The Snap-On's look as if they might
be a little longer wrench, but I didn't look at the specs, just at the
pictures.
