Interestingly, Snap-off (also known as Snap-on) still owns itself regularly. That may or may not be a Good Thing™.

And moar AvE teardown vijeos needed because you know corporate overlords always be hollowing-out once proud brands. Craftsman hand-tools had a lifetime exchange warranty should they break, not that wooden-handled screwdrivers would ever do such a thing.

Back in the 1970's my father worked at a steel fabrication plant building bridges and other humongous things. They would custom order some gigantic socket from Craftsman, use it on some high torque wrench until it shattered, take it back and get it replaced.

At a former employer, a fresh CADdie designed a brake housing with a bolt circle too close to the outside diameter for a socket to fit over the bolts. Oops.

He'd apparently turned off some constraint check without noticing, and, never having worked in manufacturing, didn't think twice of it.

The workshop foreman had to have sockets machined down in order to install the brake packs effectively.

That designer didn't dare venture into the assembly hall for years!
