Quote from: "JetdocX"I got mine off the Snap-On truck.  And before anyone bitches about how expensive they are, I say these are worth every penny.

I see a price for what looks like the exact same set with a different case:

Link: Snap-On Extractor Set, Multi-Spline, 10 ps.

$45.20

That's not cheap but it's not a king's ransom. Now you got me thinking, dammit.

That's really cheap for snap-on and they look like good items. The only extractors I've tried are long & tapered and have a coarse fast LH thread. They're the ones that break.

I'm still using the Snap-On 1/2" ratchet I bought in the late 70s and it's perfect apart from being scratched & scuffed, despite much misuse.

hmm £38 for the set in the UK, so not a great a price difference as I expected...
