Re: Snap-On. Dad was a dealer mechanic for over 40 years I grew up in the car business and Harley-Davidson business. Snap-On is basically the professional-grade industry standard. It's publicly traded and a legit tool company People who drive the trucks (toolpersons) come by the dealers and garages usually every week on a certain day and will finance the tools and tool boxes. They're also great because they sell special tools for certain makes and models and jobs and you can tell them you need X tool for X job or they can recommend what you might need. Snap-on and Mac (the other big one) usually guarantee them for life, and as it is they can withstand usually way more professional use than a cheap socket from Lowe's or something. They're expensive, yes, but not usually a much higher grade than your average shadetree mechanic or average homeowner needs.

Testing pets for food allergies are the worst. It can takes months sometimes to a year to figure out exactly what's going on. If you have a dog, and are in the prime training age, it's a huge pain to not be able to use training treats.
