How does snap on even stay in business...

You pay for the convenience of their truck dropping by every week.

It's stuff for professionals who make their living using tools

A hobbyist buying Snap On stuff for their home garage is borderline retarded

Subaru mech here.
My toolbox is filled with harbor freight snap on matco mac Stanley and husky.
My tool box is a used mac tools box. About to trade it in for a 1000$ dollar snap on cart

I just spent $5000 on snap on. No ragrets

They stay in business because their markup is extremely high and even selling at half price to students they make a killing on the tools. But the thing is all tool trucks are around the same prices. You just need to shop for the best value out of them. I've walked on the mac truck at work and a set of impact sockets I want are 400$, the next day Matco has a similar set for 180$. Some things are better deals on different trucks, some things are smarter to buy cheap, while some things require a little quality or you'll be buying 100 of them

Did you get a socket set and a couple of pry bars?

Have spent at least 35k on snap on tools and box. Mainly for electric impacts and anything that has a moving part.

I work on semi's and mine equipment. I get paid 80k a year to fix stuff. If my tools don't work, I can't do my job. I can't waste time running to harbor freight every five minutes to warranty there crap. Not to mention the shipping out to Alaska.

If I rebuilt a 20k cat engine with a pitsburg torque wrench I wouldn't have a job for long.

Point is, snap on is for professionals. Not hobby people.

That said I have some pitsburg wrenches(2"+) and some sockets that I cut up to make custom tools.

>Working on my car at a friends house
>Ask for a ratchet
>He says "Be careful, it's a 100 dollar ratchet"
>I say your moms a 100 dollar ratchet"

That is all.

I will never buy Snap On again. Literally biggest overpriced shit ever. It's a joke. The only thing worth the money is their hand tools. Everything else is just overpriced to fuck people.

lol nice
