Dave, Any other exciting Matco news form the Matco Expo?

One more for the 18v Lithium Makita. I bought a comb kit (1/2 drill, 1/4 impact driver, circular saw, and light). I am very happy with their performance and charge times. I also have Dewalt drill 12v which I have had for several years and it has performed very well. The reason I changed to...

I have a KRA5311 and like it a lot (I am not a pro mechanic). I purchased mine last summer from my local SO guy. At the time, my SO guy took my phone number and said there may be some deals on toolboxes coming up if I could wait. About two weeks later he gave me a call about a deal on the...

+1 I am not a professional wrencher, but I have built a relationship with my local Matco dealer. I know his general route and have his number, never a problem to find him. He even gives me truck credit if I need or want it. So, what you want to do is not impossible you just have to call...

Also, try Wicks Aircraft Supply www.wicksaircraft.com. Once upon time I was building an airplane and I received most of my hardware from them. They have good prices and ship quickly.

I would be interested in both.

I have also used the Ikea Beech butcher block tops and made seating benches in my kitchen area with good results. Ikea's butcher block tops are made well and a good value for the money.

Thanks... That is what I was looking for!

My computer went down and I lost all my bookmarks and I need some help. A month or two ago someone had posted a link to a company that made drawer guards for Snap on tools boxes (ie metal guards that protected or dressed up the front lip of the tool box drawer). Does anyone recall the link...

I recently bought a KRA5311 which is similar to what you are looking at. I have been very happy with it.

You could set your watch by my area Matco guy. I do not work at a shop but I meet him at one of his last stops of the day about twice a month. He is there every time on time. I maybe spend $200 a month and he appears very happy for my business. Always a discount for paying cash and he takes...

The Snap on guy in my area used to work in one of their regional supply warehouses for over 10 years. A little more than a year ago he was "downsized". He said they gave him the option of taking over an open route in the area and he took it.

I made contact with my area Snap-On guy and told him I was interested in buying a tool box. I told him what size I was looking for and how much I wanted to spend. A few weeks later he called and said Snap-on was running a deal on certain tool boxes. I ended with a KRA5311 which listed for...

Brand new list is about $4,000.

Has anyone used any of Matco's new Infinium line of cordless tools? If so, what do you think. I am considering taking the plunge and up dating and/or adding to my cordless line-up.

Anything new.

daveblank, I tried to PM you with a response and I don't know if it went through. I am new to this forum and how it works so please bear with me. Thanks sonexer

After that, time to lay it all out on paper. Pro's, con's, costs etc. See where I would be at. Whew. I am nervous and excited at the same time. Shocker, Please keep us posted. I too am considering a mobile tool distributorship, but have not gone as far as you have. So for now, I am living...
