Hi, new member from Sweden!

[Scuderia-F1]

Found out of this eminent forum on an Ferrari forum, & I must say I really like it.

Until some 10 odd years ago I ran a small BMW shop here in Sweden, & I have always carried a soft spot for tools and to be more precise Snap-On.

Thanks to the "toolchest posts" on this forum, I´ve now pulled the trigger and tracked down the very same inventory that I owned back when I had the shop & managed to buy it all back. I´ll post some pics of my humble "kit" as soon as possible.

Welcome to the forum ! I hope it is not too rude of me to come out and say this straight up....but everyone I have met from Sweden speaks English better than I do and I don't speak anything else...... What is it with that ??

Snap On ? Well OK then, lots of fans here......myself included as of recently.... Have fun , start posting ASAP these guys here don't bite !!!

Thanks guys!
Lurking here has really been a great inspiration.
As I said in my post it´s just a humble "kit", especially compared with some of the posts on this forum.
It´s just a KRA roll cab (the one before KRA 2007), KRA 63 "Penske" top chest, a end cabinet and a roll cart and a fair amount of tools...
I will post a pic as soon as I´ve collected it and organized it.

So is it it hard/expensive to accumulate Snap-on tools in Sweden?

Thank you everybody for the warm welcome!

To answer the question about buying Snap-On here in Sweden it can be a real pita. At the moment there is only 6 (not sure) trucks here in the whole country I think. So a lot of the area isn´t covered. But I live in Stockholm, and we have a really good guy here, he has been in the business a little over a decade. I´ve bought most of my equipment new from him (back in the day when I had the BMW shop). But I think that a lot of people especially the "hobby-wrenchers" is browsing e bay these days. Not so much for the price as they just don´t have a truck in their area of living.

Regarding the price, what can I say, Snap-On is Snap-On but to me they´re worth it...

Coolabha: To answer your question about Swedes and the English language, I guess a lot has to do with that is we learn English right off from the lower ages when we go to school.

ambenz: Yepp you are right on the money there...

Ok, here is one crappy iPhone pic from when I "found back" my old kit and bought it back. I can guarantee that while I had it before I sold it, and after I bought it back It would not be this messy and unorganized (pic is taken before I collected the kit). But at least it´s a pic of most of my humble kit .
