Just in case somebody wants to see the inside of a Snap-on truck.

Been there, done that. I used to live in one until our boss said he is limiting our Snap On visits to 1 hour. Now my wife won't let me near one.

Only thing worse is a gun store

There is another you tube user that used to show every visit in his Snap On dealer's tool truck,The Cohesive Garage.His dealer said no more unless he bought a scan tool from him

 

[CJM8515]

Love the snap on and mac truck, but dang the stuff is $$$.

 

[wafrederick]

Matco is the same way,$$$$$$$$.Last tools I bought were the MT2760 1/2 drive stubby impact,a 1/2 drive chrome extension bar set and a 15mm chrome universal socket in 1/4 drive

Those 1/4 XL flex ratchets look sweet. Overall this was a decent vid. i was expecting more cringe.

 

[LXCam]

Man am I glad I don't wrench for a living. The temptation would kill me. Precious.

They are sweet! I wish I could get in on that $99 promo, I would buy another and put 3/8 guts in it

Yea i know your pain.if my wifey finds card payments on statements its the third degree and quesrion time, truth serum, water boarding and thumb screws about weather i need these new tools or just want them.

 

[Fedwrench]

Yep, there's nothing like a weekly chrome fix from the snappy guy

The tools aren't that expensive when you only pay $50 a week for life

After turning wrenches for so many years, it's only the new releases that intrigue me like the extra long 1/4 flex head ratchet. I've got everything else. I'm surprised Snappy hasn't jumped on the stubby impact wagon yet.

Eric's Snap on dealer is one of the nicest I've seen and very liberal with swag. I've had good and not so good over the years but, no one gave up t-shirts without a significant purchase.

The Cohesive Garage's Snap On dealer ticked him off once,

Not sure you can since they reversed the screw location.

Personally not a fan, handles are way too thin for comfort.

I bought one after watching Eric's video

Yep £55.0 a week for the last 26 years one lot of stolen tools, i learnt from that mistake.

I think you can actually make it out of a gun store with a fuller wallet.

Damn that's incredible. He seemed extremely knowledgeable too. It's getting harder and harder to find that these days

Well except for the fact that he seemed to be unaware that Snap-On had a roughly 3-4 year period of not putting USA on their ratchets and their power tools are assembled in Taiwan or assembled in USA (not made) and the cordless batteries don't come from Japan but mostly from China along with the chargers.

Every new product release seems to be more and more import.

 

[jd_1138]

What a loaded truck. Wow, that guy has inventory.

Minimal compared to the bimbo stocker who didn't see anything wrong at Lowe's yesterday

He had a real one in his right hand, and couldn't see what's wrong

Unless you are warranting something, then i bet he hasnt got it but can get it for you in 2 weeks time

I was at the Snap On rodeo the same day Eric's video came out. One of the dealers had a whole box of those XL 1/4" for $85 each.

It is a cool ratchet, but something about it wasn't right when I was playing with it so I passed.

Maybe I shouldn't have.

 

[Yoitsdjohn]

Great vid by Eric O... now only if he would do a toolbox/ shop tour video!!!!

 

[T45]

You're not the only one to observe this, hopefully its early production issue that is ironed out. I'd really like to see this with a comfort grip, tho.

 

[JBradley500]

What seems to be "off" about that ratchet? I was thinking of looking for one but not until it's problem free.

 

[GTA Matt]

I have the tll and the tllf. Holding the tllf right now and don't see an issue?

 

[Brownsfan]

I love the sweeping generalizations. My Snap on guy will gladly hand you a new tool if it's in stock. I bet most will.

 

[mrjaw14]

I want the new 3/8 comfort grip flex head FHLF80A. I'm a DIY'er so no tool truck, I usually order online so there's a record for warranty. I want a snap on shirt from the truck, sure don't get that from ordering online lol

 

[Davefr]

How does he keep everything from turning into a chaotic mess? If he drove that truck around here, all that stuff would be in shambles from the crappy roads.

Do the drivers spend a couple hours organizing prior to each stop?

Chrome looked dark gray instead of bright silver.

Snap On logo engraving in the head was rough.

Ratcheting action felt coarse and unrefined, especially for a 1/4" wrench.

Flat blade screws going in from the top of the head looked odd. Torx screws would be much nicer.

Just wasn't feeling it.

 

[R-Savage]

I'm having a hard time finding a snapon truck or a mac truck in my area. Oh yes. I will find one.

 

[Travisnd]

I've never been on a Snap On truck as I am not a mechanic and just a DIY/weekend warrior. I recently contacted the driver in my local area via email and he seemed very eager to help me. I sent him an email with part #'s I wanted to order and asked what form of payment he preferred. I heard nothing back for weeks, then out of the blue he responded asking if I still wanted parts to which I responded yes. Haven't heard back and it's probably been over a month now. I'll just order online, but this video was cool as I got to see what they look like inside!

What is this new 3/8" ratchet you speak of?

Maybe call around to your local repair shops and ask if their truck guy usually has a schedule and shows up on time, and if you can go to their shop to meet him there.

Is there a roll eyes smiley?

So, what does that fancy Diagnostic Center tool cart cost, complete with the 32" touch screen display ?
