That's neither a Harley toolkit nor a Snap-on.
What you are looking at is a set in the Bacho S series. Have a look at the similarities of this set.
http://www.toolmart.com.au/brand/bahco/s87-7.html
Bacho is a premium brand and make some of the best tools around without charging snap-on prices.
Bacho is the inventor of the adjustable wrench has been making professional tools since 1862 and does know a thing or two about tools.
But ...$200 for that box is what we here in England call "A RIP-OFF"

That's the proper answer. A tool is only good if it works and some cheap tools work fine but most don't. Snap-On will always work which what you want a tool for.

" The modern adjustable end wrench was invented by Johan Petter Johansson of Bahco. The incorrect use of "CrescentŽ wrench" to describe this design is derived from the CrescentŽ brand, owned by Apex Brands, Inc. Apex Tool Group, LLC. The generic term is "adjustable wrench."

Bahco is a product of Snap-On. I bought a lot of Craftsman when I was buying tools years ago and they were very good and easy to get a replacement if one ever malfunctioned. That's the value of a lifetime guarantee. If you have to send it back to some PO box it is not as good as going to your local Sears and getting handed a replacement the same time.

as a professional mechanic, I have learned over the years, that there are cheaper tools than snap on, but none better, I have bought other brands, and they have worked, but they never felt right, worked as good as I would have wanted (always seemed a compromise) and many times have caused a delay in the repair for one reason or the other. Snap on does fail, but rarely. and the ease of replacement (at least for me, truck every week) is worth its weight in gold. they seem expensive, and they are, but over time, always pay for themselves, and its something you will be able to pass down to whoever, and they will outlast that person too. you will never lose on a quality tool, unless you don't use it, and then it was your fault!!

You get what you pay for. Especially tools that are high quality and made in the US. I detest cheap cheye knees junk. This sort of set would not fail you. I've always bought professional grade tools. I have 35+ year old wrenches and screwdrivers that have been dependable. So, if you don't care, go to the chey knees box stores and get your stuff.
