Default Tool brand recommendations for Intake, rocker box wrench

Ok I have seen that snap-on, Lang, Kastar (now lang?) and HD MOCO sells a wrench that looks exactly the same. I'm looking for upper / lower Rocker box and intake manifold wrenches. i'm just wondering if they are all the same (maybe Lang makes the MoCo wrench) or if one company is better than the other.

I can't look up the part# on snap-on, so I'm guessing snap-on doesn't make it.



I'm in the HD tech school and am looking for quality wrenches. Or maybe put a post on the WTB forums here???

thanks,

If these are going to be used for your career, buy the best (invest) Snap-On or Matco, check with the sellers in your area and take them for a test spin. Usually they can pull them right off the truck.

Well I found out from my Snap on rep that Snap on DOESN'T make the ones they are trying to sell me. He thought it was KaStar, which was bought out by the owners Lang, but I was thinking Kastar was a cheaper brand.

I know these tools are going to get VERY LITTLE use, but I would still like to have quality. I bet Lang or Kastar makes the HD ones too.
