Get whatever tools that will do the job. Not everything has to be snap-on if that quality & price isn't needed. There are some good brands close to you with lifetime guarantee so theye are easy to replace if needed.
That being said....
I'm tearing down a final drive on a D65 Komatsu dozer (45,000# dozer). I had to block it up 6-8", remove the blade, tracks & both track frames. Some of those big bolts were stubborn. After many cycles of heat & beat then pulling with a 4' cheater pipe, I decided that something was going to give & it wasn't going to be me.
I grabbed an old Wright brand 3/4" breaker bar & a 7' sch 40 pipe. I sat down on my butt & pulled with all 6'2", 240# of me. The bolts finally came. I still am amazed that the wrenches held up. It's still straight but had to be very close to failure.
Good tools are priceless when needed but are just waste of capital when regular will do.
We all know how well you think out every step ND & there is no doubt that you made the correct choices.
Are you in there fulltime yet? When should I come visit?
