I have a snap on set of drivers but choosing between the 2 listed i would go with the kobalt set, Vincent is mistaken, they are a lower end division of snap on who makes the highest quality tools in the world and they are made in the U.S.

Id buy a few in any way shape or form if spyderco came out with one although Im thinking one in FRN and vg-10 would make an excellent hard use edc at a reasonable price or any handle material and s30v would be primo!
