You could also ask your mechanic who his dealer is and catch his truck sometime. I did this the first time I was on a truck about two years ago. You cant technically finaince this way I have been told? I wanted the hard handle ratchets with the tool box model/bank they had at the time, He did not have the color I wanted so I left empty handed. I have since bought, I just call the number I got off his card and ask if he will be around the area in the next week or so and I will meet him on HIS TERMS. Gas station, Hardee's, a shop he is cool with or where ever. I have met a dealer at the Casey's gas station more than once, and at a local shop more than once. I do not buy often, normally one very specific item, but it is extra sales and on his terms so he does not seem to mind. I have found if you want new, prices are not much cheaper than the Snap-On website. Used wise, I think buying in bulk on Craigslist is the best bet if the cash is there, I just bought a box with tools and have almost enough stuff sold to break even and basically keep the box for free, but having cash on hand is a killer sometimes.
