Now that I've got nearly all my pots (just looking for a 6 qt saute pan now, when I get that I'm done), I've decided to see if Snap-on tools are really "all that". Since they have a lifetime gaurantee, I have no qualms buying the things on e-bay, and like all-clad you can save tons. My first ratchet head should be arriving any day now. We'll see.

While puttering around I found this short article on what it's like to actually be a snap-on dealer. Being your own boss, driving from place to place, talking with mechanics, sounds like fun!
