I would wager that snap-on box has well over double 60K worth of tools in it by the end of his career maybe 250K... If you make your living with them thru a career you will ware them out two times some 3 times and some 4 times it don't mater who you buy them from...

Y'all just need to be happy you can not buy a quality tool at HF are your local auto parts store it has not always been that way.. I needed a E18 1/2" drive socket Thursday night I was going to have to run down a tool truck Friday and knew I was going to pay $200 for a set of'em.... The worst part I have some and gonna double up on'em.. I went to Advance Auto on line ordered one it was in the store Friday morning $7 :)

I put a wheel bearing on a 02 Tahoe Friday the bolts that hold it in are a bear to break loose. I grabbed a 40 year old Mac Box end wrench put a pipe on it, it did not want to stay on the bolt head, I grabbed a seldom used Snap on wrench it was worst than the 40 year old Mac. I then grabbed a Gearwrench wrench it fit it like a glove and powered thru the job.

I have some Mac Snap on tools I brought 40 years ago that are now 4/5 times the price I paid for them so yes they will fetch double what I paid for them and I got to use a quality tool thru my career... A trusted tool a tool with a warranty one I could run down a tool truck and get replaced no questions asked.

When you talk about a guy that buys the best remember he is making his living with them its not a hobby... Maybe an addiction tho one that a top gun can afford... A top gun can make over 100K a year its his BMW...

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Plow and Disc - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
