Can anyone recommend a make that just work and last a while rather than cheap and add to the pile that do not work.

I accept these will not be cheap but I have £40 of crap ones and two at £20 each I assume would still be working.

Bought some Snap On ones nearly 40 years ago, welded next to them on dozens of ocassions, hammered them, totally abused them, left them out in the rain, lost them for 3 years and then soaked them in a tub of plus gas to free off, done just about every wrong thing you can do to them and still work perfectly well. Even used them as a gear shift lever in a motorbike for a week......priceless. Used to do Graham's King Pins as well just the other weekend......... On that basis cost per year of ownership is pennies, no idea what they cost today though.
