I hope this will help bring the price of used SO tools down a bit.
In my area the pawn shops charge almost full retail price for worn out & broken SO tools because "they have a lifetime warranty... so it's like your buying a new tool...." blah blah
A shop I used to work at used stuff called "Really Good Sh*t".
I haven't been able to find it anywhere, but it was the best penetrating oil I've ever used.
Ya we sell Snap On stuff at Pep Boys now (I'm a mechanic at one)
Right now we got: flash lights, shop lights, knifes, razors, knife sharpeners and tool bags. Its all cheaply priced stuff and is made in China.
Word is we will be getting some more new stuff in a few months.
I've messed myself up with flying impact sockets.. I use locking impact extensions and adapters now to stop that.
I have metric Snap On and sae Matco swivels, I really like the Matco ones better.
This reminds me of ebay listings that say "new Snap on sockets" in the title with a nice blurry far away photo, but if you read the fine print there not Snap On sockets but sockets that 'snap on to a ratchet'..
