i have a set of metric 1/2" drive Husky deep sockets that are really pretty
decent, as well as a very acceptable set of metric combination wrenches (12
point in the box end, though, unfortunately. other than that i really like
them.)

ditto. my snap-on 1/2" drive ratchet is far and away superior to any
craftsman ratchet i have ever used. my 1/2" drive snap-on torque wrench has
performed very, very well over the years. i have a handful of 6 point 1/2"
drive metric sockets, and a couple of metric allen head sockets, and that's
about it for my snap-on collection. they're just too bloody expensive to
own any more of 'em.

i like Starrett, but have come to the conclusion that Mitutoyo offers
better value for the money.
