Apparently a sign at the end of your road that says: PRIVATE ROAD no soliciting--would work. It seems to attract them to my house.

Does anyone here know how Snap-On and Blue Point compare qualitywise? Do they have the same warranty? Is Snap-On worth shelling out the extra money?
I'm more concerned with hand tools like pliers and such than power tools or any other kind of thing.
@1BROWNWRENCH? @Brownslave688?

Snap-on is only really worth it if you're a mechanic and use them everyday.

Not as a mechanic but they will be used daily for occupational purposes.

I deliver to a Snap On distributor------I can always make a box or two "disappear"-----for the right price.

If you going to use them daily then I'd say yeah they're probably worth it. They'll probably last a long time and the lifetime warranty is pretty much second to none.
For electrical, Klein.

I've heard good things about them for more specialized tools. How do they compare for the more generalized things like pliers?

Check out Williams (snap on industrial line) and SK

The Williams line is great it's basically snap on previous models. Only thing is if you're worried about buying USA you have to be diligent about checking their model numbers.
That's why I went with SK. Virtually their entire catalog is USA made. Check out HJE Home American Made Hand Tools they are tremendous to order from. Everything is new stock since ideal bought SK. If you do order from them request box art. For free they'll paint anything you ask for on your box.
My son isn't a trained electrician, but he's done a lot of wiring and cabling when he owned his photo studio and in the house he owns now. He has a whole bag of Klein tools and swears by them.
Remember, they are designed for electrical work.

Yes. Ones with Robertson square drives too. Torx and Allen not so much.
