Snap-on Tools - Best Toolbox - Effeciency & Security

[hom2fu]

...and more of your wallet.

[dieselholicpullteam]

I love my snap-on box and tools. i went into my tool buying biased against snap-on because I felt they were the Kleenex of tools (known brand) but they proved me wrong. Maybe its just my local rep, but my service is excellent, low pressure, good deals, excellent warranty, and great service. Even when i buy used tools from craigslist like my big KRL7023, he still wants to make sure im happy with it by helping me clean it up. he cares more about the snap on brand than himself and i appreciate that

[Thewiredmechanic]

There is a difference. I had a younger tech trying to loosen a rear diff bolt on a class 8 truck, Using a craftsman impact socket on a IR 1/2 impact. Rattle Rattle is all I hear. I walked over handed him a Snap On socket. He took the bolt out with my socket on the same impact wrench. He was amazed that a socket made that difference. He removed all the bolts in the rear end with my socket. When time maters use what works not what might work.

[Thesupersmith79]

Yeah thats fine and all, BUT I can buy a complete craftsman pro-series master mechanic tool set and pro series roll cab, and top for the price of only your tool box. And if I break a socket or something it's always at least a week before I see a replacement from the snap-on guy. So I'll take my chances with the craftsman stuff, at least I can feed my family instead of the snap-on guy!

[dieselholicpullteam]

@Thesupersmith79

Never had an issue with Snap-On warranty and i dont even work at a pro shop, just work in our farms shop. If i ever need anything, warrenty, new purchase, or just curious, I call or text my snap-on guy and he is there that day. If its warrenty work on hand tools and he has one on the truck, its in my hands before i get off the truck. If he doesnt have it, he drop ships it to my door, i havent had any power tool warrenty claims yet though.

[mikono14]

@dieselholicpullteam I feel the same way never had a problem and by the way they don't warrenty power tools only hand tools some power tools may have a limited warrenty but mostly only replace hand tools but not many companys warrnty power tools because you never know how well people maintain them

[37zeus37]

Oops thought it said strap on!

[702dirtrider]

Snapon tools are the best hands down, Mac and Matco are right up there though, most people that don't like expensive high quality tools are not professionals who rely on them to make there living that's when quality counts. When you put food on the table with your tools and work with them 8 hours a day cheap tools just don't cut it. Now some will argue Snapon is the best but not that much better that they can charge 2-3 times of what Sears does.

[bieli0]

@702dirtrider check on german tools like hazet. those are very expensive and great! i have a mix of everything. knipex pliers, wera screwdrivers, snap on wrenches,ratchets,sockets. and craftsman get my business for the cheaper stuff.

[KevinMillard68]

i have boxes from walmart that each have about 200 lbs of tools in each one and no problems are even coming close to happening, so so much for snapon and i only paid 100 bucks a box

[iGotMetal]

snap-on for the win. hands down best tools

[ntrains]

I still prefer to use my cornwell box, but there still good tools.

[KevinMillard68]

less box can also lead to less quailty , metal thickness makes a huge difference in over all quaility, security is a joke,if someone wants in they will get into it no matter how secure it is,if your that worryied about getting tools stolen , then get insurance,or pick a new carrer,what this video show is alot of slander iam supprised snapon is not in a lawsuit over it , even tv commericals are not alowed to mention the other brands by name,..why cause its slander totaly illeagle.

[JendrusZbojnik]

@KevinMillard68 there actually have alot more quality in them than matco. and mac and snapon are pretty much the same in prices and most things. btw my dad has a snap on tool box from the 90's and nothing ever broke and he uses it 12hrs a day mon thru friday. his friend and a mat co from 2008 and drawers broke and the bottom started bending. and it was used in a home garage with half of the tools in it.. so.. depends on ur opinion

[KevinMillard68]

@JendrusZbojnik iam sure snapon use to have good quaility 50 years ago but these days the way tools are mass produced iam sorry to tell you the QC is not as good, i have heard form some of larger snapon freaks i know that will swear that even master craft is better then snapon for tools and master craft tool boxes are also climbing in quaility as well. snapon and macto are names you pay for same as sony was once good but not any more the little guys are taking over,

[rudoatlas]

this way of making advertising is very bad and not profesional at all.

[trailerfitter]

who cares I like the Macsimizer over the snap on . BTW I use Snap on tools

[BerettaTV]

I'm a mechanic and if there is one thing I have learned working on cars over the years it's that Snap-On make the best tools by far. They are certainly over priced but still the best!

[hooah7962]

My friend is an auto tech and swears by snap-on. I work in aviation and use craftsman tools. When first attending school he got a snap-on tool set around 300 pieces and a box for 6000 that was with his discount. I bought craftsman 1500 piece set and box for 6000. Decided to try the warrenty on both we took our 3/8 in drive ratchets and putt alot of strain on them till we broke them both took my craftsman to sears exchanged on the spot. Friends snap-on still arguing with them to replace.

[HondaTurboToys]

@hooah7962 I call BS unless your friend is dealing with a terrible Snap On dealer. I can take anything on the truck and get it replaced ASAP, usually on the spot, a week later if its something he has to order in. 99% of the time though there is not even any questions asked. You get what you pay for, and some tools just feel better in your hands and get a job done more easily. Tell me how Craftsman ratchets are, 36 teeth vs 80? And can your little 3/8" ratchet hold 250ft/lbs? didnt think so.

[2strokedetroit]

@hooah7962 I had a buddy try to explain that craftsman is for homeowners and snapon for real techs. Not true in the least

[youruglybuddy]

@hooah7962 when working as a automotive technician we are constantly flagging hours meaning we need reliable tools that are known to last (AKA SNAPON) because once our tool breaks (CRAFTSMAN) we can't perform as well to make 14 hour pay in a 8 hour day. you being a aviation technician dont have to work to beat the hours that the specific job pays so i guess your choice of tools doesnt matter.

i haven't had a single problem with getting a replacement tool with snapon.

[tehatemachine]

@youruglybuddy Stanly proto is better than snap on. Industrial companies use it.

[bigjimmy2225]

@hooah7962 i havent had a problem with my snap on ratchet and i broke it on purpose i broke it by the flex head by putting it in a vise and hit the ratchet part with a hammer and he gave me a new one no Questions asked. then i replaced my old flywheel holder and it got replaced so i don't know what your talking about. but if all you can afford is craftsman that's good and all, but don't down talk another tool company oh and i have craftsman, snap-on, mac, and matco tools.

[mikono14]

@hooah7962 I don't know what snap-on guy he goes to but any time i have ever had exchange a snapon tool i got a new one right on the spot one time i exchanged a hammer that my dad bought 25 years earlier they gave me a new and improved up to date one no charge and i bet you guys had a lot harder time breaking the snap-on ratchet then the crapsman

[fordwillkillyou]

@hooah7962 Probly sounds like user error. Maybe why they wont replace it. I bet If I break mine I can exchange it right off the truck.

[tymebomb60]

wow this guy could sell water to a duck. but he makes very relevant points

[GunGemini]

Lowes now (as of earlier this year) is selling a line of Mechanics Tools called Kobalt which is made by Snap-On. They are good tools.

[jjlwis]

blue point is good as well... half the price, and just as good warranty

[hellspirit5]

And we also have the best Cars and top of

The line engineering making the things your snap-on tools fix

[irit8r]

Kokon tools are just as good as snap-on. they only specialise in hand tools, nothing else which means they make very good quality hand tools and nothing else, and cheaper than snap-on!!!

[jitjoseph]

i have a craftsman tool chest and its security system is a big metal rod that goes over all my drawers and i don see anybody getting through that and i have never seen cables or springs or any of that shit, you dont need atm key holes to secure your tools but then again craftsman isnt ridiculously expensive like snapon

[jjlwis]

@jitjoseph hasp locks are good! they use them for painters lockers in the movie business.

[eBiology]

By the way, they say German surgical instruments (particularly orthopedic) are of the best quality, but if Snap-On expanded to produce surgical instruments, Snap-On would beat the German brands for sure...

[robby844]

@eBiology hahahhah what kind of lie is that?

[eBiology]

@robby844 It's true, the Germans make the best surgical instruments.

[robby844]

@eBiology yeah they do.germans make the best tools PERIOD.

[zanuha]

@eBiology

Or not, because heat treating knives is a _little_ bit different from heat treating socket wrenches.

[eBiology]

@zanuha The point is that the company puts a lot of thought into how they engineer their tools. If they were to apply their rigorous standards to the manufacture of surgical instruments, which I know are made differently, the result could be...

That being said, there are many other great companies out there as well.

[urchin76]

lol mastercraft,,, just buy one snap on for ten master crap... its all about quality and snap on ,,,just screams it

[militarycases]

ANY TIME A MANUFACTURER begins to KNOCK a COMPETITOR publicly, they loose customers. That is the WORST way to SELL, Just read the comments below disputing everything this BOZO has stated in his lousy presentation. It just does not work folks. Speak about the Merits of you OWN Product. The only time you mention the competitor is when a customer askes for a comparison and most of the time the customer already knows the answer!

[RBOLES2]

I HAVE A MAC TOOL BOX FOR 15 YEARS HAD A MACHINING PALLET DROPPED ON IT STILL WORKS FINE AND ALL DRAWERS WORK FINE BEEN HIT WITH FRORK LIFTS CHIP CONVEYORS STILL WORKS FINE MAC

[nolatoolguy]

dont get me wrong weight is a big issue but when it comes to weight a heavier box can be better

more metal=more strengh

[Hogums]

Sure they're pricey but I never had any issues with warranty and when you work on cars for so long I will tell you that you will never go wrong with Snap On. That being said, I do have some off brands but over the last twenty years they have slowly been replaced by Snap On. It might be brand loyalty but I like how these tools feel in hand as I use them daily.

[dmorley100]

@Hogums I know what ya mean bud. I bought some cheap stuff when I first started out, some of it held up, some of it didn't, but Snap-On's replacing some of my other stuff slowly too. I also know what you mean about the feel of the Snap-On tools. I got Craftsman and Snap-On ratchets and I've been working professionally for 6 1/2 years and can count on 1 hand how many times I've used the Craftsman stuff, but if I had a nickel for how many times I reached for a Snap-On ratchet, I'd be a millionare.

[bowlofarthritus]

Im a sign guy. Tools is something I thrive on. I know whats good and bad companies. I have a Blue Point roll away tool box (Snap On deals with them. Its their lesser expensive line). Far as Im concerned, Snap On is probably only beneficial to automotive field techs of engine work, body work, ect.. A guy like me doesnt really need Snap On stuff. I use DeWalt, Husky, Husky Pro, Craftsman, Millwalky...IMO, Snap On is the Lamborghini line. You have them because you can

[tc195912345]

The only thing about Snap on tool boxes That is better is the huge amount of money Snap On makes on the backs of some young wide eyed kid, when they sign him up for twenty years of payments.

[pjm8047]

snap on too fuckin expensive

[ktmgears]

@pjm8047 YES!! This is why.

[creditcardpaymentmax]

usable storage space - nice

[MrSupertwo]

Everything he said is true, Snap on Makes great stuff, their dealers won't warranty anything, but they make great stuff.

[HunterCO1]

@MrSupertwo you are full of shit i have never had a problem in 20 years as a tech.

[megacaputi]

I WORK IN SNAP-ON OF BRAZIL IN THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA WEST SP IS A GREAT COMPANY WITH CAR EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS OF LAST FUUNCIONÁRIO Ligist CELSO LOBÃO.

[supersamurai563]

anybody know whats a good toolbox for a beginning diesel technician/ auto technician?

[bigjimmy0922]

go with a nice 40 inch craftsman for now its got nice storage and its cheap and then when you get more money and your not happy with it get something more expensive there all good boxes you cant just trust what snap on says nor any other company. talk to others mechanics and see what they say and what kind of boxes they got. big companies will say anything to sell you there stuff.

[BadAssBootie]

I do not like the new boxes with what I call "Two Stupid" drawers. The two top drawers that are 53" wide, or full width drawers.

I have two tools that are 36" long, a prybar and an extension.

Why open a 56" wide drawer with 500lbs of tools, and 500 items to look through when all I want is a #2 phillips screwdriver ?

That drawer is way too big and then they force two of them on us as you can not buy the big KRL boxes without "Two Stupid" drawers !

[dave0z96]

@BadAssBootie As a diesel Tech I would rather have a tool box with a 56 inch drawer. I have a 50 inch 3/4 torque wrench, big hammers and some big pry bars close to 50 inches that I dont like leaving on the floor. But for an auto tech that drawer would be stupid.

[BadAssBootie]

Ha, then they should call them Rig boxes...lol.

Thanks for the support too :D

[supersamurai563]

would you know of a good kind of toolbox for an upcoming diesel tech?

[BadAssBootie]

Snap-on 40" width boxes are very affordable. Also ask your Dealer for any deals available. Some buy out clearance specials from Snap-on. Sometimes they may have a great deal !

If your dealer has none, don't be shy to locate other Snap-on dealers nearby. You are free to shop around.

[supersamurai563]

thx alot.

[rinjingan]

good products comes with big price

others can do as well....will we pay..?

[wazii6]

im making a tool box based on this style ecept its wooden and lighter weight

[DimebagVision]

Snap On is some good tools, but they're fucking EXPENSIVE!!! 350 bucks for a torque wrench

[notoncemoreagain]

Yeah... I bought one for that... I bought 12 flank drive wrenches for $450

[Mr2Late2Stop]

can someone tell me what are the chances of a 3 tool box combo falling over??

[riley675]

jobmate brand 100% chance

Snap On 0% chance

[aaronlaskowski]

Snap on has alot of very good tools but if your starting out like me, don't worry about buying Snap on everything. I have alot of Mastercraft stuff and they're holding up surprisingly well. Alot of guys wish they could own their dream Snap on tool set but its nearly impossible, I stick with what I can afford.

[tomkkkkk]

im buying all out snap on thanks to my parents and the government grant I got :P

[cabbygolf]

dont buy mac tools i spent thousands with them and when they break no-one wants to know...their UK service is pash

[BadAssBootie]

Mac tool trucks have disappeared in Chicago, USA. The trucks are still in the south but here their tools are nearly worthless for lack of service.

[cabbygolf]

same here in scotland..more chance finding rocking horse sh!t than a MAC van

[BadAssBootie]

Lol, whats a rocking horse then ?

[dave0z96]

@BadAssBootie Thiers 3 mac guys runnin in northwest Indiana that I know of in Lake and Porter county, and 1 that dos the Michigan City area.

[BadAssBootie]

Lucky ducks !

[paintbawl]

Ya i here ya dude, i have alot of mastercraft stuff 2 i have been switching stuff over and bring my mastercraft stuff home bit by bit

[BadAssBootie]

Mastercraft ?

If you need to save bucks then buy Craftsman.

Where ya gonna replace a Mastercraft tool if...nay when...lol, it breaks ?

Don't buy the Impact sockets or extensions from Craftsman though, they break every week it seems.

I don't recommend any brands except Craftsman and Snap-on.

Craftsman been around since 1925, Snap-on since 1923.

Mac's nearly gone and Matco's a risk in my opinion. Snap-on rocks, always has,always will.

[FlippinBrilliant]

@aaronlaskowski

I'm a first year desial apprentice and all my tools are snap on even my tool box

[nelson4568]

@aaronlaskowski same here im starting auto school in the fall and want a snap on set cause i got into their sep program where you can get their tools for alot cheaper but can only spend 7500, but i realized for one metric socket wrench set 18 pieces, for 300 bucks i got a 283 piece tool set from craftsman today at sears, it may not last as long, or be as shiny, but until i have the money ill stick with this

[ESPsandEmgs]

@aaronlaskowski

EBAY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

[eBiology]

@aaronlaskowski I agree, Snap-On is pretty expensive. I remember when I was in my teens I bought a lot of Mastercraft tools for garage DIYing. I don't like the style of their pliers nowadays, but the wrenches and other chrome accessories are of incredible quality. I have had a set of wrenches for 3 years now and they don't have a spot of rust on them. Nowadays I stick to Jet Tools though, I like their products.

[madeljacky]

@aaronlaskowski you are 100% correct. Stick with what you can afford and some day you will get your snap on tools and box after you have earned a bit of money.

[bluenapalm123]

NOOO not double thickness.. this is the best thing ever.. i think i'll stop eating cause all i need is DOUBLE THICKNESS!!!!!

ott?

[lukaszfaza]

niezłe

[razejaba]

the wooden top looks really smart

[quickstart20o7]

thts snapon box seems cheap

[leon323]

but its not, my coworkers at B.M.W have all the brands, snap-on, matco, mac, craftsman and i seen snap-on handel more than the others thats why i got the clasic 78
