The reason the general is harder to close cuz that stack of cash u saved from not buying snapon is in it
@@braddalton9260
This comment tops mine by a lot.,.... Regards.
But what about that Kennedy
I don’t like my shot slamming around so I’ll take the US General
Ohhhohhhh, now try to move them @ full capacity. Try up a uhaul ramp for measure.
I don't see 50k worth of difference
Nothing a little 5 cents of grease or a quick squirt of some WD40.
$50k? More like $5k
@@tac0majas0n one of there little 4 drawer shop carts costs as much as that whole box
@@tac0majas0n a matco 72 inch box is about 22k so yeah no not fifty but 20 so my point is still made
Ray charles can see it so you have a problem.
I think everybody could see the difference. But you could buy five or six of the generals for the price of one snap on. Having to close you draw with a little more effort it’s not a big deal.
Bingo
Plus weight difference in the drawers and not lubing the slides, mine slides real smooth when dialed in.
The mac tools tech boxes can come with adjustable retention it's cool asf.
More like 8 times - A 56" roller cabinet from HF is $920. A Snap on Master series 54" 9 drawer is $7600...
Just push harder lil boi
Been working on boats for almost 20 years and never seen anyone fix anything with a toolbox.
True That
Your way of saying you can’t afford it
Lmao!
Spot on
@@jalenshead1610 His way of saying he didn't need to
@@jalenshead1610 Your definitely that snap on guy that doesn’t mind paying 50 to 100 a week for the rest of your life just to have off/on ratchets.
Remember boys and girls. An expensive tool box won’t make you a better mechanic.
For the $900 price difference I can live with it.
That's thousands more not hundreds.
20k dollars snap on does not come with experience .
Perfect comment😉
But with everything.
”Its all about the paint job”.
If it looks good, it is good !
Unpopular opinion but the reason people buy snap on isn’t for flash or show, but for its long term durability and dependability. Think of it as buying a truck. Why would you buy a Chevy Tahoe when you can spend the extra 10-20k and get a Land Cruiser that will last 25 years or more??
You can buy the US General one and replace the sliders in the drawers for 1/4 of the price of that Snap-on one. And it would be just as good.
That's crazy because my company ordered me a US general and at home I have a Cornwell and I can notice a major difference in the closing of the drawers
It’s not about “I’ll just push my drawers a little harder” it’s more so about, “my box will still close this good in 30 years and if it don’t, it’s got lifetime warranty”
Or you could just buy a new us general every 5 years and still be ahead after 30 yrs
@@Amiller863 I bought my full size snap on box for 2k, buy them used on the tool truck, warranty still stands
Definitely see the difference in price. I’d love to have Snap On, but I’m not a full time mechanic, so cheaper brands have to do.
More money in your pocket instead of not catching up to pay that long bill
I'm a full time mechanic and will never buy a snap on tool box the price is outrageous my Milwaukee is just fine
Most mechanics don’t have as much snap on stuff as you think
@@bradthackston2323 most good ones do
@@serbia991 I got all my snap on stuff back in tech school,they had an awesome deal.
But yeah I tried to avoid the tool truck ,but I'd still buy stuff here and there.
Nothing I hadda give my left nut for.
If I hadda buy that stuff at full pop I'd still be paying and that was almost 20yrs ago.
I got pops the 72" us general with a side box and I'm impressed, I'd get one for work if I needed more room.
Edit: the set I got was about 4500$ in 98, and we priced it out and got to 8500 individually priced and still had all the stuff like pullers and tap sets and flaring tools (the stuff in plastic boxes) .
So it overall was like 11k to any schmoe off the street for what we got.
Plus 25% off anything in the catalog,that helped some with the pain.
Yes, the extremally outrageous price tag of a Snap-on tool box!
Looks like the US General has a soft close feature. Nice touch.
To each their own. I worked out of cheaper boxes for years, then decided i wanted a nice one. Got a mac tech series workstation for 5k. I like it.
Yeah I have the same us general box as the one in the video. And the reason that drawer is not as smooth is because of the plastic cases in the drawer rubbing as it closes and opens
Difference that I can see if all your power tools in the very top drawer of the us general and just a few socket sets and extensions in the snap on top drawer.
With Snap on your paying for the sales persons utility🤑 bills 🤑& house payments
The only difference is about 5 thousand dollars more for an overpriced cheap sheet metal box with the Snap On name glued to it.
I've always just closed my stuff manually anyways, do you own a auto trans as well?
I don’t see the point in beating the slides or being that lazy either.
Having soft close drawers will for sure make you a better mechanic and help you properly diagnose a vehicle / truck, plus us general ain't meant supposed to directly compete w snap on, icon is supposed to be the competition
I have that 72" US General as my big storage box and the 34" US General Master Tech Cart as my roll around. I told myself I'd upgrade to something better after I get some more experience and after I buy a house and settle down with my girl. Then splurge on this stuff. (of course if I can lol).
You can afford to put tools in one after buying it...
Thank you for the wisdom and advice very helpfull
Yes that's the lower in general box, can tell by the rail on the side.
I like instant gratification so I'm going with the general
Worst part on em is getting them out of the crate, ask someone with a 72"😂
I can't afford a US general at this point of my life, good thing I already have one, I use my box couple times a week, hopefully more once I get a shop to work in
Keep at it and you will
@@christophervallejo9838 I'm building a 24x36 shop as we speak, can't wait to be able to work on my cars and trucks, it will have an I beam down the center to pull cabs and box's and engines, short service pit on one end, hopefully it will be nice enough to put a used car repair type of paint job on cars at my house, putting a strong suction fan in the pit to get rid of fumes and make it into a down draft paint booth, stay strong guys, as they say, how bad do you want it
I see the difference. The first guys back pocket where his wallet is was thicker. The second guys pockets were turned inside out from the suction sound coming from the Snap-on truck.
For $20,000 less, I'll push my drawer shut all the way
My coworker snap off doesn't close like that. He complained and they said it just needs to be broken in. Hes had it for 5 years
I say spend on what you want to spend on. At the end of the day it’s just a box that stores and organizes your tools. I spent $600 dollars on a box 20 years ago I still today, and just added onto. Other guys bought the rape wagon boxes of equal size for $3k.
I recently bought two US general boxes. Definitely the difference is in cost. And if someone crashes into one of them or bangs it up with a vehicle I'm out just a few hundred bucks versus thousand and thousands. Snap on is good stuff but it's not worth the cost. Guys in a shop are like people in a retirement community. They all think how much they spend is most important. I see how much I can save and still do the job right as most important. I have my eye on a couple more of the US generals right now.
pushing the USG half ways with little force & the snap full force 3/4 of the way will do nifty tricks.
Hard to see the difference without the weekly payments showing
I'll take the soft close general. When that strap on closed you can hear everything move inside it. Not to mention the price difference.
Time is the difference. My snap on still does that after being built in 1994. The difference is in the structure. My box weighs 750 pounds empty. These others probably weigh about three hundred.
I like the soft close
You can remove the drawer slides and put some grease in.
Definitely!!!
look I think snap on is over priced there are many brands out there that will do the trick. But I did buy in 1982 a 4 yr old used snap on KRA series top and bottom box. besides some rust it's still going strong and it has been used well. that's over 40 yrs. I think the big thing to consider on any of them is the sheet metal gage and compare. don't know if the new ones can hold up as well.
Bank account comparison: Do you see the difference? 🤣🤣🤣
He guided the push on the snapon
The difference is the amount of weight in the drawer. General has a lot more weight in it then snap on. Snap on is good but I like my us general.
You can just oil the drawer slides, it will fix that problem
It’s only purpose is holding tools. US general all day. Don’t waste money on name brand boxes
Yes, I see the difference in the price. 😅
is general is a great value for the money. sure there are some nice features on a snap on box, but it's mostly bought for the name and bragging rights in the shop.
The customer don't give a shit what tools you have as long as it's fixed right the first time.
Yes the snapon is twice as deep and had 5x the amount of weight in it.
As someone who bought a Matco box, I love it, great box, but was it worth 5x the price of the harbor freight, absolutely not, if you’re not 100% certain that you will be working on cars for the rest of your life, don’t buy a box off the tool truck
Yes! One has a 494939309383930276738% markup and the other doesn’t 😊
which brand is the green drawer orgnizer? I like it
Huge difference, people saying don't buy into the snap on lie..... OK buy a us gen. Then replace it every year..... snap on... buy it for life
Snap-on is the Starbucks of tools
Before I’d spend that money I’d just make one 😂🤷♂️
Are you really willing to pay a 2nd mortgage just to have a toolbox that closes smoothly?
For double the price, I'll pass on the Snap On just because the draws close slightly easier. For that matter I have a Snap On side box that's got one drawer that doesn't work very well and over all doesn't slide as easy as my General box does. Then there is my 40 year old Craftsman top chest that works just fine. Gramted the drawers aren't quite as good as my 4 year old General bottom cabinet but they work good enough.
As a weekend warrior that saves money to do his own work, I personally don’t care. That being said, I do love snap on stuff but I’m too poor to afford it.
If it's not level there's a big difference
So you guys get upsold by 9k to close drawers easier?
The little US general roll around carts are pretty decent but anything bigger is a waste
You can buy ten us general boxes for the price of one Snap on though.
I've got probably 40k in tools in my 1k home depot tool box. Kid I work with has around 2k in tools in his 18k box.
Now compare wallets, do you see the difference 😂
Prefer the general. With drawers that roll out easy if you have too many drawers open or not all the way closed they roll out and too much weight will flip the box over towards you. I prefer sticky drawers!
Put the price tags on them too
I see a huge difference 👀 in PRICE $$$ ✌
Just buy upgraded sliders for the cheaper one. I did. You can't tell the difference between the 2 boxes now
For 8000 dollars more the drawers should read my mind and open automatically.
My husky toolbox is filled with snap on tools that's all that matters.
Difference is U.S general needs some tuff love
You're trying to tell me you turn wrenches for a living but you can't put some good grease on some ball bearing drawer tracks
I mean... you pushed the snap on one a lot harder if you ask me. Nothing wrong with off brands. But I'll never tell another man what to spend their money on
I'll take the US General!!! Thanks
Everything in the US General is less expensive than half of the SnapOn box empty.
Yes I see the difference,for a savings of 12,000 dollars you have to push the drawer shut.
Yeah, the price different he has roller bearings. the only difference is you have to take your hand and push the drawer shot on the US general big deal unless you want to spend 22,000 for a toolbox that shuts itself
The drawers don’t pay the bills
Grease up the rollers on the US General. BANG more money for tools that go in the toolbox
I'm not a prep, smooth drawers don't justify cost.
The pile of cash that’s as big as the box in the first one from the money you saved not buying the second one 😂 I’ll take the general for 1500 Alex 👌🏼
Strap On fan boys gonna want Siri controlled drawers next??
I do? The difference is the price of a lightly used Honda Accord.
I see the difference in the boxes but I don’t see a $10,000 difference
Yeah, the difference is quite literally 800 dollars.
You a bit torn up you paid less and recieved less?
Welcome to America.
The husky I got from home Depot closes smoother than that snap on.
There's barely any weight in the drawer on the us general then look at the weight in the snap on drawer
Ah yeah, definitely worth 10 times more just with that alone
No it's icon vs snap on. Come one now.
Yup I see it . The snap on one has less tools becuse you can't afford to fill the snap on because of their prices
US general ,probably about 8,9 hundred for that tool box
Snap on probably 10,12 thousand for that economybox.
He pushes the snap on so much harder
Yep the well over price name brand it more matters what’s in it really
yea i’ll fill my u.s. general box with snap on tools and be money ahead.
I keep mine on the floor
Idgaf if I have to sing to it before you close it. I won't pay that much.
I'll happily push a little harder to save $10k.
See I got a toolbox so I can work on my car and save money by fixing my car myself.
Yes there is a difference but at least put the same effort in both pushes???
Oh no, I have to push it closed but I saved ridiculous amounts of money, How ever will I live with myself
Yeah but the way a drawer shuts isn't justification for and additional $13k
One you can afford and one puts you in debt
