I have 90% Snap On tools from my days of turning wrenches, now to complete what I want to have on hand I have been checking Ebay for good used Snap On sets but will be getting new SK from mechanicstoolswarehouse.com . Hard to beat good US made sockets for their prices.

Just called kobalt tools customer service again and got a very helpful person this time. I found my receipt of purchase from 2000 but not any owners manuals, gave her all the numbers I could find and she said that they have no information on that series of tool box just a picture. She also said...

tool box was only used for 6 years, When i bought it I did not have life long expectations for it. I was just starting off as an apprentice at 19 and could not afford the commercial brand boxes. especially when I found out that payments for them were more than my car payment.

I was told by a snap on guy that they made their boxes at first. I hope none of my Kobalt tools break because I bought them when they were made in the US. Now i would get the taiwan replacements. Not that they are bad, I am just a guy that wants my tools to be all US made if possible.

I have a 40" Kobalt tool cabinet that I bought in 2000 when I started as an auto technician at a Pontiac dealership. I used it for 6 years in the field then got a bigger box. Most of the slides are shot even though they were US made ball bearing slides. Recently i decided to buy new slides and...
