I have lately had the chance to pick up some Snap-On tools and tool boxes, as well as Hazet, Easco, Craftsman and Armstrong tools.

As I sort this stuff and get ready to sell, I've been asking myself: Are the Hazet tools recommended by MB really any better than Snap-On?

I think that in the case of special tools made specifically for an application-- like the diesel valve train adjustment wrenches-- the answer is probably YES.

But what about the others?

Is it worth spending money to have a genuine set of Heyco/Gedore/Matador wrenches that say "Mercedes-Benz" on them, or is it better to have a set of Snap-Ons, in the trunk?

Your experiences and comments, please.
