Cuisinart. Nuff said.

I had a industrial snap on rep at my last job. It was nice having 30% to 50% off list prices. It definitely takes the hurt out of buying SO.

I've been there too. Not worth the time. If in kc hit Epstines or Clarke's.

I recently moved out of state. I had a GREAT dealer. He would show me his cost on most stuff. Long story short. Me new dealer is a scamming *****. I was done with him. I called my old dealer and spent 15g's with him on one order for my new shop.

I have no love for the classic series. To me they are just a overpriced craftsman.

I hate them too. I bought another set of the old style in orange just to have stashed away when I need them.

I have straight, wobble and wobble + in aLL sizes from SO. I could not stand the 1/4 wobble + ones. Gave them back to my dealer. The weight of any deep socket would cause it to fall right off the extension with just a slight bump. I'm a snap on *****, but I hate their 1/4 wobble plus extensions.

Order the correct bolts from ALTEC not anywhere else. Set the rotation gearbox backlash and torque the mounting bolts correctly per the factory maintenance manual. Verify correct operation of your DM47 altec digger derrick side load protection system by performing a SIDE LOAD TEST with a...

I paid 2500 with the euro software just last month.

The other solus is for my buddy. Got them both for the price of one.

Strusser is not worth the time imo. Kc tool had a 80 sqft show room. Clark tool on Shawnee mission parkway is good and not far frI'm the city. 15 minutes maybe. Just sw of ikea.

My dealer would warranty that in a heartbeat and if it were mine I wouldn't hesitate. That could cut you real quick.

Hate to say this, but I live 20 minutes from there and have never been. Most my tools are from the tool trucks, kctool or another local favorite Clarkestool. One of these days Im going to stop by. I aways forget about it when im needing something.

I would have upgraded them in a heartbeat.
