I have never heard of jobmate tools. I agree with Gertk about Craftsman tools. Personally I use Snap on tools. Only reason is because I use to be an auto mechanic and had all these toold when I left the job. The only nock against Craftsman is their gas power tools. I would stay away from them, they suck. I bough a weedwacker, trimmer and blower. In about a year in a half everything broke, junk. I do like their power tools. MAybe they just have a crappy manufacture for their gas power stuff. To answer your question. Sometimes going cheap isn't tool bad esp if your not going to use them a lot. In this case I would spend a couple extra bucks and get a good tool. I have gone cheap on hand tools before and I end up getting more frusterated becuase they don't feel the same, they strip things easier etc. I know you don't have a Sears by you, but maybe you can check them out on their website. I just think Snap on tools are over priced. Great tools and I like them, but expensive.
