Snap on vs sonic toolbox and tools

Guy is just a detailer and salesman, he doesn't really fix stuff.

The better comparison would be the Tekton box to the Snap-On. Those Rousseau boxes are great. They bought Sonic foam drawer boxes with tools for the toolmakers and machine repairmen where I work. The boxes are nowhere near Snap-On in quality and the foam drawers are just not practical. Foam is great in a kitted Packout type box but not in a rolling shop box. The video is a joke.

The video has absolutely nothing to do with a shop box. His channel has nothing to do with professional techs. His market is the home DIY consumer and that is the market for foam too. So I don’t understand why you judge the video as a joke when you took it out of context

I have never quite understood the push of Sonic tools with Obsessed Garage. I was under the impression that Matt's goal was to offer the absolute best in every category regardless of price. He lost me at Sonic. Where is Hazet, Stahlwille, Snap-On, Williams, Proto, Wright, Wera, Nepros, Koken, etc...? Lista / Vidmar / Rousseau and Snap-On toolboxes / storage are the industry standard for a reason.

It’s because he sells them and profits from pushing them in his videos

Sonic is just a importer of cheap tools from Asia only the pliers are from NWS Germany and have a good quality

I like foam in drawers even if it’s a waste if space, it’s good for OCD and when folks use my tools they know exactly where to return it and that there is a very obvious open space when the tool isn’t there.

You obviously don’t earn your living using your own tools do you? Are you in Aviation by chance? I doubt it

Guy is one step from a used car salesman.

I like foam. We have it at work. We (aerospace) invented it. BTW, it came from our industrial engineers, who organized drawers based on tasks, not tool types.

I wouldn’t have it at home. When I’m doing an automotive job, tools I use tend to stay out (Rubbermaid cart) because I’ll need them again. But for big jobs, I run out of places to put them. I really like being able to put my tools back. I like my snap on smooth, strong drawers, with quick easy access to tools. Very satisfying to use. The minute I get gear oil all over that weird 5S foam, and you can’t easily clean that stuff, that would be the end for me with the foam. We don’t have gear oil at work. The guys work pretty clean. BTW, the epic boxes where I am sense when tools are missing and report absences to a tool control steward.

I only skipped through this, too painful to watch another "look at me, look at what I've got" cluttering up the interwebs. If he had **** he'd be flashing them for us. " I make a zillion dollars" F you!
