    The secret realationship between Jonco Industries and Snap-on Incorporated

    I dont know if you are familiar with the high end Matco liners, but they are STICKY and hold stuff in place like there is no tomorrow. I had a high end snap on a while back and it seemed that it was the same stuff but I think ours was a little thicker. PT # NSDL-9500, 31 inches deep and it...

    Tool truck guys, gotta a question.

    not far from the truth there......some areas address are "42 miles north on st route 6, 55 miles east." UPS hates those tags......they have no record of anything being out there in the middle of the desert. :spit: At least the UPS guy that does that area knows there are people out there.

    Tool truck guys, gotta a question.

    It also depends on if there are any other dealers around, I do 4 different cities, but there is no one in the rest of northern nevada so if someone calls matco and wants to buy something....they get referred to me. Basically my area is all of N. nevada except the reno area. I get calls and...

    what would make a auto tech get out of the field

    I was in the field for 20+ years, it took a shattered and replaced vert, 9 broken ribs and a shattered right wrist to make the job unbearable. (major moto accident, near fatal) Now my legs get numb when I work above my head and I cant bend over fenders. I would still be wrenching if that would...

    buying a box that isn't paid off?

    Yeah, its not like we can find a box that isnt paid for and just take it on the spot unless I was the dealer that sold it to them, even then there is paperwork involved and its never a good time, thats for sure. It also depends on whether or not the dealer sold it to the customer through...

    buying a box that isn't paid off?

    Basically, but here is some food for thought. You are working in your garage 5 years after buying this sweet deal of a box and the drawer slides come apart. You call your local tool dealer at brand XXXXX and tell him you need a set of slides...can he warranty them since all these top dollar...

    Matco USA Made X-Long Metric Fixed Box / Ratcheting Box Wrench Set ** Brand New

    In my 20+ years as a flat rate heavy line tech, the absolute fastest way is to pull the acc. drive belt or alternator belt (if its separate) and start the vehicle. Noise still there? Not the alt. You will usually be able to tell by the sound of the noise, they actually have different sounds...

    Do Truck Dealers usually pack a sidearm?

    Police issue taser at all times within reach in a concealed place. I would rather not kill you if you want to rob me, due mostly to the fact that your cheap *** welfare family will sue me and now a days win. :mad: But I will be happy to make you piss all over yourself when you get outside the...

    Is anyone else annoyed with tool salesman?

    I would do the same at a brick and mortar store, but you are not expecting the counter person to let you walk out of the store with whatever you are buying, with the hopes that they see you again to pay for it. They are not letting you pay $20.00 a week and YOU have the product. Its not...

    Is anyone else annoyed with tool salesman?

    The first purchase I have them sign the bottom of the receipt, it states on my receipts that all tools are my property until the account is paid off. They sign it, thats the deal. Obviously Im not going to repo 1000 dollars worth of tools if the guy owes me 25 dollars, but they know what it...

    Is anyone else annoyed with tool salesman?

    *Shaun beat me to the post, but Ill add my 2 cents* I take all info including SS numbers but I DO NOT run credit checks. The SS number is for me only in case I have to find you at a later date to get my money. If I dont get full info including a SS#, your truck credit will be less. I have...
