Unicorns do exist

[Jweebothee]

Here in Albuquerque I always see mac, matco and snap-on trucks all over the city, this is the first time I have ever seen this guy, only got a pic of the rear, but it was an old truck,

I take it that this is rare?

I laugh because I've had a broken 3/8 Snap on ratchet for years and every time I see the Snap on truck, it's going down the highway. One day I'll get the guy cornered!

 

[shawndp]

That is quite the sighting... Up here the Mac truck is just as elusive.

Got sherbet (shibit)?

For the first time last week, I saw a Gearwrench truck here in CT. Next time I get an opportunity, I'll snap a photo and post it. I didn't think they even existed.

You were a little too close up behind that Unicorn for comfort. It could have gotten real ugly if that thing had started farting rainbows right then. I prefer to keep a little distance, and don't make eye contact.

I can't imagine there's many Cornwell trucks these days. We lost our only mac dealer, *****. Not a big fan of mac but there's a few things I like from them. The variety is nice as well

I like MAC impact deep sockets they are a little longer the other brands and they are cut all the war to the bottom you can use them to remove sensors. Ive had my standard set over 20 years and used them daily most of that time.

I live in the south philly area, and have never seen a Cornwell Truck. Only seen the Mac truck once.

 

[Flatheadpopup]

I saw a Cornwell truck earlier this week and was telling my wife that I haven't seen one in years. Not working in a shop environment any longer is most likely the reason but I honestly can't remember seeing anything but Snap-On (everywhere) and maybe an occasional Matco truck around here in quite some time.

one of the cornwell guys lives down the street from me

That would be a very convenient way for me to go broke. I'm glad I don't have one that close by.

Too funny... Saw a Cornwell truck yesterday and was surprised.

Saw a brand new SK truck last week (also rare) and wished I had time to bug him to look at the x frames.

 

[fatfillup]

We have a local Cornwell dealer who I see all the time. I hear nothing but good things about him, his service is stellar.

Local Matco guy switched to Gearwrench about a year ago. Don't know how he is doing.

Mac is pretty rare sight though I do see them around Baltimore on the beltway. Haven't had a local one is many years and when we do get one, they don't seem to last.

Snappy guy just left, has an extremely well stocked truck.

I've been to Frederick, Maryland, Baltimore, MD in April-May 2017 visiting my wife and saw a Cornwell tool truck on the way from Frederick to Baltimore, on a Saturday. I was in Brunswick, GA in July and saw a SK tool truck on the I95 heading towards Savannah.

Good to see others out there. All we have here in Hawaii are the usual, Snap On, MAC and Matco.

 

[BillMoney]

I saw one yesterday driving around north shore Massachusetts.

Pretty much the same tools these days anyway.

 

[rharman]

A few months ago, there were several Cornwell trucks in a restaurant parking lot near my house. Wish I had taken a pic.

 

[Thax]

I guess im really luck then . Got Snap on, MAC , Matco and Cornwell trucks coming to the shop every week. Tuesday is Matco, Thursday is Snap on and MAC and Friday is Cornwell.

That would be nice, but probably dangerous for me haha.

There was a Cornwell truck coming to the Firestone tire shop a block away from my home, but the driver passed away and no more truck. I do live 10 minutes from their HQ/warehouse and 25 minutes from their manufacturing facility. I wish they would do online sales like Snap-on

 

[fatfillup]

Which is why he switched from Matco to GW. Same tools and can sell for 30% less

Cornwell trucks are all over Ohio

I that were me I'd be homeless by now. MAC and Matco don't come to where I work, only Snap On who comes every Friday.

I have never wrenched for a living, but seen many garages as I drove a taxi for 14 years and my wife worked for the Saria group; 24 dealerships throughout Quebec (Gabriel, Prestige, President and others)

Through the years I have seen many Snap On and surprisingly about as many Mac trucks. One or two Matco trucks, also a couple of SK trucks, but never seen a Cornwell truck.

 

[MikeF2316]

Funny how Cornwell trucks and Unicorns live in the same sentence.

We have them all around here. The only one that stops by the shop is snap on but I'm gonna flag down the cornwell guy soon and check out his stuff. The sk truck has all sorts of brands. A lot of gearwrench. But his prices are astronomical. I don't know how he stays in business. Our snap on guy keeps some gearwrench as well. Never priced any of it though.

 

[country83]

On my way home from work I sometimes see a Cornwell truck. The only one I think I've ever seen.

Music, don't know what is broke on your Snap.on wrench, and you probably won't even see this post but I had a $200.00 set of 3/8'' drive Snap.on wrenches and sockets and breaker bar but the directional lever on the back of the wrench was gone and the brass spring loaded pivot was worn flat inside.---Too good to throw away but useless as it was.---I found a store on line that sells repair kits for Snap.on wrenches, for all sorts of model numbers.---It's an EBay store, and I fixed mine back like it was with the kit.---If yours is just broke half into, then just disregard this post.---Here's the model numbers he has kits for and the link.

Repair kit for snapon 3/8 drive ratchets series F720,,F720A F724, F726,, F730,F730A,F731,F732,F734,F735,F751,F752,F734,F735,FK720,FK735,FL720,FL721 AND 30 tooth 3/8 drive torque wrenches.Make your ratchet new again.Special Snapon lubricant included in this kit.

Just got a cornwell truck here in north Idaho beginning of this year. I've seen him driving around town a few times. Got a chance to talk with him for a bit today at my college's tool fair. Real nice guy! Hope to business with him in the future! He said he's been extremely busy.
