    I’m very happy with my new Koken 3/8 ratchet. Want to try the nutgrip sockets soon.

    Who makes the best sockets?

    I probably won’t go Pittsburgh as I had an early bad experience. Was my first HF purchase and I purchased a set of wrenches and when I got home I noticed the chrome on two wrenches was flaking off and flagrantly so. To HF’s credit, they replaced it with a new one the next day.

    Why are Snap-On toolboxes so expensive?

    Clients means my detailing clients. I do paint correction and ceramic coatings on higher end sports cars and luxury sedans. I want a nice garage for clients and myself.

    Why are Snap-On toolboxes so expensive?

    I am a fan but as someone looking for a well built toolbox it is hard for me to grasp the extra cost of Snap-On over other boxes. Even with a frequently applied discount, it seems egregious. That said, I greatly admire SO tools and the brand heritage is fascinating. Indeed it seems one can...

    I just read your thread. Really nice cart. Love how you used magnetic rails for tool storage.

    Why are Snap-On toolboxes so expensive?

    None whatsoever. Just a fan of their products. I'm a professional detailer and discovered the brand a few years ago on Pan The Organizer's channel. Pan discovered them from his friend Matt Moreman. A neighbor down the street is is part of the Trammell family who does a lot of shop...

    Why are Snap-On toolboxes so expensive?

    Why are Snap-On toolboxes so expensive?

    Why do you prefer these slides? I ask because slides often have a side to side wobble while a carriage holds the drawer straighter in my experience.

    Why are Snap-On toolboxes so expensive?

    My Rousseau distributor (Trammell Equipment Company) did a single roller cab for me and has done the same for others. A lot of my friends in the detailing business use Rousseau and some use Snap-On as well. I have reached out to Snap-On as I am interested in buying some hand tools but I have...

    Why are Snap-On toolboxes so expensive?

    I loved the old Sears. Really knowledgeable people in the tool department. Our local Ace hardware stores have some great people. I think Harbor Freight is the new Sears in terms of selection and warranty. My two local stores have been pretty helpful. I have had less luck with Lowes and Home...
