Caterpillar snap-on, i never knew

[burgerboy13]

I don't know about other Cat dealers, but I work for Empire Cat and we get Cat tools at cost. I would make friends with a employee at a CAT dealer to get a good deal.

Can't we all be your friend?

You get 0% discount at any Cat dealer

I was reading this and just had a great thought. I get a good price break on Cat parts and stuff from my Peterbilt dealer, and like you said 0% from Cat. Maybe I'll call them up (Peterbilt) with a few tool part numbers I've been thinking about and see what he can come up with...

Give me a week or two and I'll try and come up with some results.

And as you may be able to tell, I'm also Cat addicted...

Talk about look alikes, I have some Performance Tool ratchets that from a distance look identical to S.O. Whatever! Ken.

Your peterbilt dealer will get them at normal list price. They get discounts on truck engine parts but that's it. I work at a Cat dealer so I get everything at cost. It's still expensive enough with me just working on my own things. I have a few Cat tools and have a few more that I'm looking to add.

That CAT ratchet looks identical to the american made Willams

Wouldn't the same patent numbers lend itself to be the same manufacturer. Once a patent runs out you no longer reference an old number on a new production item from a different manufacturer. I am no expert. Just armchair quarterbacking that statement.

I bought some CAT tools when I worked at peterbilt about 10 years ago.. the cat price was about 1/2 of the equivalent snap on tool.
