Tool truck sightings.

[Ton ton]

This is a recent phenomenon, but... Whenever I don't need a tool truck I seem to see 2 or 3 in various locations... but when there's something I want to get from one, they're nowhere to be found. As soon as I make do, ****, there they are again. Used to be I knew that on ** day at ** time the Brand Y truck would be at location Z...

You just described my life.

I just emailed snapon yesterday about a tool warranty and locating a local franchisee.

Today I just happened to drive by a truck when I was picking up a part at a dealer.

Needless to say I ended up with an order of tools I should have next week

Unfortunately for me they won't be going in my box, but my nephew's box as he starts out in the diesel field.

Broke a socket, USA made gearwrench akin to the matco pinless. Last warranty I did with gearwrench took just shy of 1 calendar year. Thus I will be replacing.

Snap on didn't show monday, I know he's been having truck issues. I have a destroyed and wallowed out 17mm universal for him, and a semideep as well, same deal, wallowed all out after 10 years of euro lug bolts. Cornwell came today, and despite their socket having similar dimensions to what I needed, he did not have one in stock. Hopefully it will be in my hands next week.

I spoke to the local SO guy in my area about 3 weeks ago; the shop owner that was working on my car put me in touch with him and he stopped by (without his truck). I told him what I was looking for and he said that he'd leave it with the shop and I could settle up in cash. Here we are 3 weeks later and I ended up placing an online order for $400 because he either didn't take me seriously or is just flakey. I would've rather of paid cash and give the money to a local guy, but this is what I'm dealing with.

That's what i told the SO guy I just met with yesterday. He ended up offering me a pretty generous discount because I'm paying cash. I didn't even ask for one.

We'll see if he has everything for me next week when he stops by again.

Matco turning northbound on Scottsdale Rd in the AM. No doubt headed to dealers on FLW Blvd.

I spotted a Cornwall truck in Diboll Tx. yesterday. That's the second one I've seen in 74 years.

Same truck eastbound on Via Linda Tuesday or Wednesday after 4pm. I can't think of what I need to justify chasing him down.

Pre-Pandemic, I saw 6-8 Cornwell trucks at a local restaurant one evening. Wish I had a picture.

There's a Snap-On guy who has a couple of friends/customers that live on a street adjacent to me. He stops at their houses at least a couple of times a week.
