another good one is the repco brand, i bought a set of repco midget spanners, look and feel like the snapon ones, except i got the repco ones for $70/$75 trade and the snapon ones are $300+ for the same set, and there vertually the same, a guy i work with has alot of repco tools and he's never had one problem in the 6-7 years he's had them, he's also got a lot of snapon too, thats never skipped a beat, but if u want good tools at an affordable price and especialy as an apprentice, repco are good too, recomend the midget spanners, have saved me alot of times and iv only had them for bout 5months, same as my ratchet spanners, although i got them on special of snapon, but well worth it too, when u advance a bit further in your career, espec, for those tight places a ratchet and socket just won't fit.
