    Returning tools to snap-on

    My experience: Mom bought a couple organizers that I requested as a gift and though she was doing a favour by getting 2 each instead of the one 1 needed. Called up snap on and one item was returnable and the other was not. The rep was really friendly and helpful. Got put on hold while he went...

    Why does Amazon com not ship to Canada?

    I'm not entirely sure but I think it starts at the manufacturer so they could make equal profit to US goods when the dollar was at about $.60 exchange for the longest time. I saw plenty of merchandise tags with CAN msrp of $100 and right above it a US msrp of about $60 for example. When the...

    Why does Amazon com not ship to Canada?

    My parents place in whitefish has literally saved me THOUSANDS over the years. Pretty much only buy here when it's needed right away. Someone's down probably every month so never to long of a wait. I've heard of those places but never knew of one. What do they charge

    The one thing I would check out that they have are grip on locking pliers. Snap on re brands them and they are top notch. Picked up a pair for $24 from gray that was $32 on the truck.

    Bolt supply house actually stocks goods. Most of the listed distributors can order it for you but I think it would be worth it to actually go and hold items to see if it fits well for you. Looking on their website there is one in fort Mac. For hard line items the pricing can get up there with...

    Matco isn't widely available in Canada. Where in Alberta are you located? Also don't over look gray. They make really good stuff and I've had a good experience with them.

    Different ratchet drive sizes

    I never really had a rule for it but that is almost exactly what I do and it seems to work quite well. There are exceptions however and you will need overlap with all drive sizes. I mainly use metric so I have 1/4: 4-14 mm, 3/8: 7-19mm and 1/2: 10-27 with other ones like 30,36. The reason is...

    ratchet troubles

    When I ordered a 720 kit it came with everything but the cover plate. Came with the snap on emblem insert though. I think that's how it is for all of them.

    How do organize your ratchets?

    My 1/2 in stuff is just holes and the drive end is face down in the foam. This works good if you're always adding and changing. A series of 1/4 3/8 holes with the drive ends in them in a row. Stays in space and can be changed easy
