here come the short jokes

-I too was a Snap On dealer. Put in 18 years on the road, got out in 2000. It was an incredible ride the first 10 yrs and the money was fantastic, especially for a kid fresh out of trade school! After they downsized by closing local warehouses and going to full franchise dealer agreements, it was increasingly difficult to provide the level of service my customers were accustomed to and the profits took a dive. I really enjoyed the business and the customers but the company sure had its share of shady management!

I've now been out 10 years and still have dreams of driving the tool truck almost every night! I've really got no issues, infact I still buy tools occationally and only from the Snap On trucks! All good things come to an end eventually.

Seems like a whole lot of you guys are ex tool dealers. lol

I use Craftsman and "Binford", tool box is a good Craftsman, but has an assortment of brands. I have alot of old tools that my grandfather gave me that I wouldn't take anything for, and some are altered.

But, we all need to be very thankful that we even know what a tool is and how to use them. I once thought, when I was young, that every male knew how to use tools. I found out different. Many years ago, when I started my manufacturing company, I hired a "friend" to help out. One day I gave him a 1/2" rachet with a socket and told him a job to do. He went away and came back in a few minutes and told me to give him another rachet.......... that one went the wrong way and he needed one that turned the other way!!!!!!!! I found out he didn't even know how to open the hood of his car.

I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, my dad put a wrench in my hand and taught me how to use it.

That's pathetic

craftsman box's full of snap on,the box dos'nt move much but the tools are busy as he$$

A few of my favorits are the 1/4 inch rachet body with the 3/8 drive,great for tight spots and the woble extension,midy sockets are a must as well.

they do make a step ya know for you Short ones

Been turning a wrench for 24 years now, have over 200k in tools now from Snap-on to china crap, some times you need to make a tool and you dont want to ruin a $50 tool when a $5will do. Most are Snap-on for a few reasons, most of the time they are the best but around here Snap-on is the only guy you allways have, all the others come and go and you get screwed cuz the Matco, Mac, or Cornwell guy went out of biz. So I wind up with a bucket full of broken crap waiting for a new guy to show up, so whenever Snap-on runs a good trade in deal I swap out for them. Have a KRL1024 that I ordered a custom setup on that took them forever to make but got a great deal on, had the side box and locker on a KRL 1000 that is now my home box, and yes they are full not like the slackers who just want a big box.

and move right on to the 3 Olives Bubblegum & Red Bull

Why all the fancy boxes and crap? All you need is a mexican speed wrench
