Combination wrenches, brands.

I spent almost 20 years working on BMW's for a living, so of course I bought tools from all the trucks, Snap On, Mac, and Matco. I like Snap On's wrenches the best, because of the way they feel in my hand.

We had an independent guy who sold Hazet and Facom, I bought a few of those for specific applications. I really liked these tools, I should have bought more of them.

In my opinion, if you like the feel of Hazet and Facom, you will be most happy with Snap On. As others have said, shop swap meets and Ebay, you'll find good used Snap On for a fraction of new.

Snap On has a lifetime warranty, but I've found the tool truck guys don't like some random dude trying to warranty a bunch of obvious swap meet finds. So save a couple hundred bucks and buy something new from your local guy once in a while, he'll be a lot more open to exchanging your warranties.
