Hold on... It's just saying that there is 5 per case, 1 cent each or $20 for 2000. Now I know why we are comparing them to snap-on. Too rich for my blood.

You might try some European tools.... Many come with unlimited warranty.

Here's some stuff I got from my dad. I'm just about to send one of them back to the factory for replacement because the ratchet was a bit gummy.

Hi all! I am thinking of becoming an aerospace technician, and I figured I would need some quality tools. If money wasn't an object at all, (I have a trust fund and only work for enjoyment) would you buy Snap-on or Pittsburg tools? I've been leaning towards Pittsburg because of the superb fit and finish, but alot of people seem to like a brand called Snap-on. What kind of a name is that anyway? Well at any rate, which is a higher quality tool? Thanks in advance!

Dude come on, your really giving Oregon a bad name:mad:

What are you, the grammar police? BTW, out of 9 posts, here are 3 of your gems::bounce:

When I hear the term heavy duty belt grinder one company comes to mind http://www.beaumontmetalworks.com/ I would buy one for the house if it werent close to $1000

I looked through several different coupons I had in my house for one that didnt say anything about "cannot be used with tool chests." I get to HF and ask a rep who said it was fine to use, only to get to the front with the item and the cashier to whip out a sign that was tucked away that says no coupon can be used for tool chests... Put a damper on my day for sure.

wasnt a fan of the wrinkle red. I would pick up one in a heart beat if I could find the gloss red one at that price.
