I can't figure some of you guys out with these fancy $6500 plus tool boxes, and thousands of dollars in fancy hand tools. $6500 for a tool box earned you nothing, it just looks good in the shop with the other guys boxes.
I have been fixing since I was 14. I have maybe 3 snap on tools. The rest is good quality other brands,and no mac either.
Snap on warranty does nothing for you the day the $50 wrench falls someplace you can't get it back, or the day the shop clown hits your $6500 toolbox with a combine!. I haven't break much over the years and should I do something stupid and wreck something, I don't need warranty i just replace it, with sensibly priced brand tools.
I still got stuff I bought at 14 and i am 41 now! Ičll be long gone before some of this stuff needs replacing. it gets used hard on some jobs out in the field or shop.
it makes me laugh when i see the dead guys widow selling 50 grands worth of snap on or mac tools for 15,000. I probably got $35.000 of that in the bank earned with my tool investment.
Name brand like snap on doesn't make a mechanic, the ability to use your brain and tools is the secret. I fixed stuff here for customers the 50,000 in tool guys couldn't as they didn't have a clue how the thing was supposed to work.
Don't forget this company are paying him as a bit better than wash boy at the moment He's got to learn and pass tickets to get more money like those of us with experience and done the schooling.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
