Craftsman better than Snap-on?

Recently found out that Craftsman evolve impact sockets are better than Snap-on (for the fact they dont have a stop halfway through)

The best sockets i have seen are the Gray Pneumatic Duo Sockets they are a thin walled socket like the chrome sockets but will hold up to impact use. Been using my set for about three years now with every day hard use and only have had to warranty out a couple of them and they have a great price about $160 for a 3/8 drive set comes with shallow and deep walled. and life time warranty

I also believe it depends on the application. having a variety is always best.

The poor quality of Craftsman Combo Wrenches (jaw flex in open end) ruined the brand for me. I've been using Grey Pneumatic Duo Sockets (thin wall impact) with no issues though they do have stops, so like most tools they are maybe not for everyone.

Depending on the job I guess, deep sockets like the evolv helped with an engine temperature sensor

I feel that Mac co has the best impacts out there . They can just get about any thing off

My personal preference is to have the stop half way through. It make it easier to start recessed lug nut and hard to reach nuts and bolts. Everybody is different though.
