Anything 'decent' between Snap-On and Harbor Freight (since that basically seems to be the absolute top and absolute bottom)? I have some Snap-On tools and would certainly agree that they are the best tool money can buy, however they are VERY expensive (for as often as i'll use the compression tool I really don't know that I need a $199 version). Harbor Freight is the cheapest junk known to man. I feel dirty just walking into that store. I only buy Harbor Freight if i'm willing to buy a 'disposable' tool.

I am not sure on the price but i would say Craftsman is the best inbetween gauge and i believe it might have the craftsman guarantee.

Harbor Freight also has absolute top, and absolute bottom type quality tools in their store. You either get a great tool for the price, or a big pile of crap. If you get any air or electrical tool, make sure it works right away, if it does, chances are it'll be ok. If it doesn't, take it back and buy the tool elsewhere. I have a toolbox full of harbor freight stuff and most of it is just fine. My chrome sockets are all Craftsman, but my impact aren't. I also have the craftsman thin profile ratchets, they are GREAT! Well, wintertime, now i'm not talking about compression testers anymore, i'm talking about tools in general lol. They're so SHINY!
