Well, Snap On and Matco both supply to mechanics, but you must buy through 
a distributor.

If you want a good quality tool, without breaking the bank, I would go with 
Craftsman Tools (available at Sears) or Kobalt Tools (available at Lowes). 
The closest Lowes appears to be in Hammond, about 45 miles from New 
Orleans. Lowe's of Hammond, LA 3007 Highway 190 West
Hammond, LA 70403 (504) 345-5666 A Sears store might be easier to find and 
will typically have a better selection.

http://www.sears.com and then click on tools
http://www.kobalttools.com

If you want a high quality tool, my preference is Stahlwille (North 
American division located in Sarasota FL) http://www.stahlwille.com/

Just my 02 - hope others have some other options for you as well.
