    Question: What does snap on give you when you break an ancient ratchet

    My dealer will actually come into my shop, and warranty/replace my sockets when they look like they are not new anymore. I have had a great relationship with all my snap on tool dealers. Snap On is really tailored to the professional tool user, so as long as you are buying tools from the dealer...

    Need a vise

    I have owned several vices and none of them have held up to the beating that I put on them. I bought one last year from SnapOn and it has passed the test of time and durability. I am not sure who makes their vices but they are built to last. I think that it was about $470 or so but it is well...

    A/C for the shop

    Why not put in central air? It will be much more efficient. I just had my HVAC guy in here and he was going to install a 3 ton unit in my shop. $600.00 installed for a used system still carrying 1 year left on its warranty.

    Snap-On Replacements

    I am not a Snap-On Tool dealer however I was about 1 week away from doing it, as well as being in the business for the last 20 years I have seen and learned alot. First off, KMarts are not independantly owned so that theory is not valid. However if a hammer handle breaks when in use in a...

    Snap-On Replacements

    I hope that the guy that authored tool routes reads this so that he knows what kind of customers are out there. I really mean no disrespect to anyone when writing this, however some peoples idea of warranty and business seem cluttered. You can compare the warranty for a handle of a screwdriver...

    Snap-On Replacements

    That 1/4" ratchet comes apart real easy. Just take off the two screws that are on the back there and then turn it over and the front will come off. Soak those parts in penetrating oil after you take them apart and then put it back together, it will work after that so long as there are no broken...

    tool routes?

    Here is the deal with the tool trucks. Snap-on and probably the rest of them work this way. There is a contract that is signed from the beginning that states and outlines the business agreement with the new business owner. This contract is very strict and covers the tool company completely...

    Bargain of a life time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You will use that blast cabinet for everything, nothing will ever have rust on it again at your house. The beauty of a blast cabinet is that you can virtually use a spray can to get a primo finish on anything cause you are starting from a bare surface. I can see it now, you will be doing the...

    Matco vs Mac vs Snap on?

    I would have to agree with what was said. I would suggest if you are not going to use the tools every day then save your money and get a less expensive tool, the quality will not be there but it will serve its duty. In my opinion you can not get a better hand tool than Snap-On. If I had to...

    6pt & 12pt Sockets

    12 pt do come in handy for certian things. Keep in mind though, most of your wrenches come with a built in 12 pt on the box end :see: that is if you are ever in a bind and dont have the one that you need in a socket.

    what are differences in brands?

    Tell me what you want and I will get a price for you. My tool payment is $205 per week so I am in a pretty commanding position when I ask for tools.

    Craftsman Tool Kits

    How you organize your toolbox is determined by how you work, and how big your toolbox drawers are, and I agree, too many of one wrench is not a bad thing. I have three sets of metric 8-19 and three sets of american 5/16-1", same with sockets.
