Getting back to the tool day at school. Something mes when a young man goes to tech tech school he might not end up pursuing that career so why should he start with expensive tools? My son went to diesel mechanics at a local area college. On tool day there were reps from Craftsman, Snapon, Mack and maybe another one. My son chose Craftsman because he was running on a budget. He dropped out after the first year which is another story, so going the Craftsman route was the wise decision. He now pulls wrenches on feed trucks, both his own and those owned by a local co-op but has built up an Arsenal or higher priced tools as needed.
A neighbor boy went to the same diesel course but bought the whole nine yards of Snapon tools and an expensive Snapon tool cabinet. All on his dad’s dime. He dropped out after three months, whining about how bad he was treated. Now dad has these expensive Snapon tools in his farm shop but can’t use them because they supposedly belong to his son.
Just a couple of real life stories. Maybe I’m too much of a tightwad, but I just can’t see starting out with top of the line tools when the future is uncertain. Its a poor business decision in my humble opinion.
