Snap-on EPIQ Tool Storage - Latest in Professional Tool Organization, Security, Productivity

[voltronsfz1]

I really like Snap On tools. But I feel the InPulse drawer locking system is a basic copy of the Craftsman Griplatch system that has been on their boxes for years. That said I can't stand the Lock N Roll system. It's about time they upgraded to something that is really useful. If I was in the market I would check out Rousseau. Similiar to Lista with some interesting features.

I do like snap-on tools, and have a lot from snap-on, as far as tools sometimes you get what you pay for . But I just think the boxes are over priced .

[dave0z96]

 I would rather have a Lista tool box, their stronger, and the price is lower . I like the idea of being able to charge batteries in the Epic, but for $12,000 its not worth it to me . Mac also just recently came out with a box like this, also overpriced at $13000 . Lista boxes puts both to shame aside from charging tools . Also Swivel Pro tool boxes are nice, very strong, with a price that doesn't cost $10000 or more .

the verus is a piece of shit get the modis or the ethos or whatever that newer one is trust me youll save the headaches during diagnosis

[MoneyMarcMes]

I like Snap On too. I repect Snap On Tools because they are innovative in there tools and Tool storage boxes and use high grade steel that will last forever. I looked at Craftsman and there sockets have chips in the chrome and there wrenches look like they were made by a 1800's blacksmith. They look horrible and no doubt they can't turn a nut! There professional series wrenches are good but thats it.

cool box....but i dont want batteries charging inside my $12000 toolbox

[Nsanitysince89]

damn this is sure on my wish list.im only 20 by the time im done paying for it i'll be 50 LOL

[Hogums]

It's a nice box. Wish I waited when I traded my KR1000 for a KRL1022. I would have gotten this one instead. UL listed is cool and locking swivel casters even cooler. The thing I like is the drawer pulls. The lock and roll I have I don't like too much because the plastic lock under the drawer lip can break easily. I like the place for a laptop on the top too. Laptop is essential in today's dealership.

the reason why mechanics use snap-on. (being a mechanic myself) is the warenty, the snapon guy comes around once a week and no questions asked you just give him your broken tools and he replaces them right there.

[sixtysevenchevelle]

homeowner use Stanley: handymen use Craftsmen, Proto etc: Mechanics use Matco, Snapon etc: Iron workers and Stearmfitters use Wright and Armstrong. Armstrong is without a doubt the strongest hand tools available. We have apprentices show up with Mac, snappy etc and are screaming when they literally shatter. Armstrong are the toughest.

@sixtysevenchevelle it's all about what kinda work you are doing, but for some people snap on in the best, some people prefer others but no matter what you buy someone is always going to have something bigger, better, stronger etc.

but i agree with you 100% chevelle

[Empire932]

the 4 wheel swiviel would piss me off...exspecially loaded with tools...

and ppl shut up..its tools..just b/c you cant afford it doesnt mean it sucks...lol nah nah just kidding..snap-on buts more thought into the tools..for the mechanic..

[Howardw007]

Like with everything else you get what you pay for. Craftsman stuff is just fine for the guy working on cars in his garage on weekends. Snap On makes ultra high quality stuff for techs that use their stuff 40-50 hrs. a week. Snap On stuff typically lasts a LIFETIME and is well worth the higher initial cost IMO.

[DARKSCOPE001]

well think your right on half of it. craftsman is perhaps "lower quality" but hen it comes down to it do the tools do the work or does the mechanic? some things snapon makes better some things craftsman makes better some things matco makes better. as far as my ratchets, sockets, screwdrivers and pliers ill pick my c mans every time. but snapon makes the best universal 1/4 drive sockets ever but the best toolbox will consist of a mixture of all brands

[frappoy2k]

wow what a pissing contest this video brought about.

[jekyllhyderacing]

whats funny is the car is probably cheaper!!!

[86pacer]

For the non professional and everyday home mechanic, Snap-On tools aren't really worth the rediculous prices. I see no nothing between a Snap-On open end set I have ($300) and my Craftsman set (less than $50) to justify the price difference.

And what's the point of spending $8,000 on a tool box like this for the average everyday guy? It's not like I need the box to withstand an head on collion with a car. I'm not going to be parking cars on top of it either, or droping it from a building.

[kevinlichty]

No problem 86 Pacer owner. You stick with changing your oil and filter and replacing a light bulb now and then. Meanwhile, I'll keep on doing what I've been doing since 1982 and that is keeping my customers cars running like a clock with my Snap-On investments.

[86pacer]

Irrelivant. Craftmans tools do everything Snap-On will at a fraction of the cost. Not only do I do my own work on my vehicles, but I do big jobs on other people's cars like valve jobs and head gasket replacements for example. I just finished a 93 Camry that was running on 3 cylinders, had stuck valves, and would barely start, let alone pass smog. It runs like a top now, thanks to my crappy little Craftsman tools.

[SnaponAl]

Hit the $300 wrenches against the $50 wrenches - the Snap-Ons will dent the cheap ones! Which one do you think deforms the most under use? If you are working at home in your free time no big deal, but if you are paid by the job (as most techs are) your $50 wrench set just cost you 2 hours of pay while you get your damaged fastener out of that car for free. That adds up. What is your time worth?

[86pacer]

I've been wrenching with Craftsman tools for over 10 years on everything from transmission overhauls to complete engine rebuilds. If you're rounding off fasteners you either don't know what you're doing or are using the wrong wrench. Smacking wrenches against one another means nothing. Just like a Snap- on toolbox being able to withstand a truck laying on top of it. It means nothing to me. I use a tool box to store tools, not park cars on. I've never broken a Craftsman wrench ever.

[SnaponAl]

Hitting the wrenches together just shows the quality of the steel. I am sure you could measure the deflection with a dial indicator and compare the two, but those are expensive so you probably don't own those either. I HAVE broken Craftsman wrenches, sockets, and ratchets, not so with my Snap-On stuff. Broken tools result in injuries AND wasted time, and that results in no paycheck for me. Fixing cars pays my bills, not driving to get tools warrantied.

[SnaponAl]

By the way, I work with tools everyday and am ASE master certified, but I guess you must know more about how to use tools than me. Go back to Autozone for your free check engine scan or climb back under your starter replacement job in the Pep Boys parking lot where you belong.

[DARKSCOPE001]

wow dude calm down if you want to spend money on snappy go ahead alright? you think they are the best. i think matco is better. but i still use craftsman if you are rounding off hardwhare then somethings isnt right ive never had my cman wrenches fail on me ive never had a problem but thats fine if you want to work with snappy tools go ahead alright and btw ase pssshhhh so what? im an A&P do you even need a degree to be ase "certified" didnt think so

[TranceScene]

Right, waiting till next week when the Snap-On guy arrives to collect yours and your co-worker's tool debt payments is much faster than driving down the street to Sears isn't it?

[BerettaTV]

Just another reason to love Snap On, looks awesome!!!!!

[gmautotech]

Got one last week, waiting on my lockers and riser.
