The fact that a single screwdriver can be priced at 35 dollars is beyond me
Unless it's a Vessel screwdriver.
More like a 54 dollar spark plug socket 😂 it’s insane
Iphone is over priced!
.
.
Snap on: hold my beer lmao
Their pricing system must be like roller ball, what ever comes out is what ever they charge. And we all know if you got a box full of snap on tools you’re obviously a top mechanic.
I am really impressed with the complete 3/8 tekton socket set and breaker bar,nice tools
Are Snap-On tools great quality? Yes, absolutely, and I buy used ones all the time. Are they worth getting into serious debt for? Absolutely not. I love Snap-On tools, but I don't love the way they hook people into making payments forever. Their business model isn't based on selling tools, it's based on selling credit to buy their tools. Don't fall for it! Buy what you can afford, upgrade when you need to or want to, stay free of debt, and don't sign your life away.
ill buy used before i buy new
Harbor freight all the way 😂
its the metal that they use which are patented, 8720 nickel chromoly, boron, cobalt, iron, silicone, etc...
strong metal is what ur paying for and guy coming to you. look up Snapon Metallurgy
Thats the idea do not ruin your life for brand names!
I use a bunch of the bluepoint kits.. that would be more equivalent
I buy Snap On because it makes me a better mechanic, and helps me pick up chicks, and they help me feel better about myself.
Lol, pick up chicks
tekton is becoming one of my fav tool brands , the customer service is 5 star.
The 56 dislikes are all snap on truck owners.
Justin Amash's company... Not buying from him!
@@mfgc2610 what's wrong w/ Justin Amash ... independent ... recent comments show he is common sense ... impeachment effort is waste of time attempt to change outcome of election
I see a lot of people pissed that someone doesn't like the liberal president.
@@ryanjones48 I thought this channel was about tools, not fools
They mad because the snap on wratchet wrench they got sucked in to buying on a finance plan still ain't paid off 3 yrs later....😂
Great advice to round out this video. My son is getting an associates degree in diesel technology right now. As I've been purchasing tools for him, he turned me on to Tekton, and they have really impressed me. I've tried warning my son that, Snap On, Mack, Matco, Cornwell etc all have nice tools, but it's really easy to get way in debt, only to look back and realize you didn't NEED some of those tools. I couldn't agree more with the point you made about some truck tools seeming "gimmick-y" or over thought. Solid wrenches and sockets will get you a lot farther then you think.
Thank you for your intelligent comment, I do hope your son listens to you. I found out like 30-40 % of tool truck tools are rebrand stuff anyway.
@@Bryan916 well, thank you for the great content you are putting out there. I stumbled on to your channel, and I plan on showing my son a couple of your videos while he's home (school is closed for now). I've been a locomotive mechanic for the last 10 years, so I'm kinda out of the loop on new automotive technology and what tool makers are doing. (Our shop only let us use the tools they provide, which are nice enough, but it's all Proto, Crescent, Channel Lock, etc.)
Nice post sir. I'll be the first to admit i have less expensive tools, that allows me to buy more tools but ask me if i regret owning any of my snap-on tools, no way
yessir some snapon tools are definitely good to have, but dont go into debt for tools kids
My favourite once was Snap-on, I’m almost 80 and still have a combination 1/2” box wrench that I splurged on when I was about 16. However I discovered TEKTON awhile ago and am very impressed with their quality and amazingly bargain pricing.
For Sure!
I've worked on my own cars and motorcycles etc for several decades and found that Craftsman tools served me well. I did a short stint as a pro mechanic and at that time found that some of the high priced and specialty tools were a necessary expense.
I bought the 3/8 socket and ratchet set a few weeks ago along with a 1/4 drive set from Tekton. I have only used it to disconnect my battery cables and remove/replace the starter in my rusty Ford Ranger. I like them so far. I like them so much I ordered them for the tool cart at on my production line at work. So many tools for the money!
I love that they don't skip sizes
I've been using a variety of their tools and they've been holding up really well
@@hackdeez1075
Good to know. I hear they are 90% of the quality of snap on for 10% of the price. I'm starting to buy tools, I'm going to tech school next year.
...I know..one of my pet peeves is the metric sets skipping 15mm and 18mm..2 of the most common sizes I encounter in automotive work, along with 10,13, and 14mm...some sets skip from 14mm to 17mm, then skip 18mm and go to 19mm...drives me nuts...I find I rarely use 17mm, so I don't know why they feel it is more important than 15mm or 18mm...now 9mm, that is one size I NEVER use..but..it's still nice to have it, just in case... :)
dyer2cycle 17mm is a very common size, im suprised you havent used it. Castle nuts on ball joints, some tie rods, various suspension components have 17mm heads.
@@yamahayz0426 ..yes, I sometimes use it..older Stihl chainsaws clutch nuts were 17mm, a few other uses...maybe foreign cars use 17mm a lot, IDK, I don't have any of those, haven't worked on them... I am not a professional auto mechanic, but do a LOT of my own wrenching, and I know every GM and Chrysler vehicle I own/have owned since the late 1980's has LOTS of 15mm and 18mm bolts under the hood, suspension, etc...most common sizes used, so a big problem when wrench/socket sets omit them...I have heard others say Ford uses 15mm/18mm as well, IDK....now, 9mm...I have NEVER found an application for that size....
Thanks for the great videos as usual! Tekton are great tools for the buck. I been buying them for a few years now and zero problems with them!
Cool. I've been using the tekton Impacts for a few years and they have been great. Durable, good fitment, and you can actually read the size on the darn things.
The Tekton Impact are really solid. I put 300ft-lbs on a 22mm socket to break loose a strut bolt and it barely left a mark on it.
I've heard horror stories about Snatch-on's return policy!
You know what Tekton does? Take a digital picture, email
it, with your physical address, (they already have your email
address) and they mail you a new one.
Here is what they say;
Tekton tools are Always Guaranteed®. Once a tool becomes yours,
we're available to help you no matter where you got it or how long
ago. Our guarantee has no time limits and no fine print-just
personalized solutions. Shipment of replacement parts is always on us.
I'm pretty sure that would cover used or found tools, as well.
Funny thing, back when I was a youngster, me and a few friends were
renovating a cheap leaky boat. I found a "ratchet shaped object" in the
bilge, and could see the Craftsman name on the handle. Told my buddies,
"this looks like a new ratchet." Next day, it was!
steve
My tool truck is brown.
i heard that Elvis and 2Pac are still alive too.
Great video, I love snap-on ratchets and their wrenches but for everything else I use many different brands ranging from Grey Pneumatic to Tekton and they all preform well working on class 8 trucks.
I cry when I go to someone's place to give them a hand with something and I have to use a cheap ratchet.
Duo sockets are nice. Harbor freight icon ratchets are a game changer on the “cheap” ratchet front. Better than some of the stuff gear wrench is putting out, close to snap on quality too.
I’m certainly no pro, but Tekton has always impressed me and never disappointed me.
They just keep getting better too
After using every brand of tool known to man (60 yrs old) and finally refreshing a lot of my tools last year with Tekton I wholeheartedly agree. Tekton makes tools at nearly the same quality at a fraction of the cost. Really high value. And your comment is spot on about about newcomers to the trade: go for value. Stay away from debt and your life will be much happier. Nothing feels worse than making payments on stolen tools.
You actually got more from Snap-on than I thought you would
Lol yes
I subscribed love the straight focus
This is amazing , Snap on has been ripping mechanics off for years , great video .
Its not a rip off when you knowingly enter into a contract knowing what the cost is and what other options are
@@BAJARACER43X contract ? If a person signs a contract for tools perhaps buying other tools that have the same or better warranty is the right thing to do , pay cash . Your comment has nothing to do with comparing quantity and quality . snap On is a RIP off
@@truckeral23 How may mechanics just staring out could pay just cash for tools? It’s taken me almost 10 years to get tools just paying out of my pocket.
I just purchased the 1/4 drive 55 pc socket set, 3/8 74 pc set, and the 1/2 84 pc sets. All come with extensions, u-joint sockets, and the 3/8 and 1/2 come with breaker bars too. All for $370 as well!
Next will be the full flex head ratchet set, sae and metric. As long as if i take care of them I will have a darn good socket set for the rest of my life.
I use quite a few Tekton on my show, great tools. Snap On is great too, but your video is a perfect example of why cheaper is better most days.
$54 for a spark plug socket. I got a duralast magnetic from autozone for under $10 over 8 years ago.
I saw that. What is Snap-On thinking? I've had many of their spark plug sockets and they don't even approach being worth over $50.00.
Great video I hope young new mechanics will watch this and learn.
Have the 3/8 drive socket set by Tekton. Really great set, great finish on them for about $60.00.
I like that 3/8 socket set from tekton. The fact it has a built in breaker bar and goes all the way to 1" is great. Also no skips. A complete set. You will like the composite ratchet. I have 2 harbor freight ones and they work great and have held up just fine.
that is a nice set of 6 point wrenches
There’s a reason we call it “strap-on” in my shop... cause there’s nothing quite as painful for a man. 😂🤣
Wow! Nice demonstration. Great advice at the end too!
I discovered Tekton on Amazon about two years ago. Just about all my new tools are Tekton. I LOVE them. Their 72 tooth ratchet is the smoothest thing ever.
They have great handles on their tools too!
I love your signature opening of this video. Well done!
Snap on 80 tooth ratchet
If you open up any ratchet and grease it they become the smoothest thing ever. Just don't pack the living crap out of it or they don't work. Might want to use something better than your garden variety wheel bearing grease too? They sell Super Lube at Harbor Freight. So you know it's good stuff!
I haven't bought SnapOn since the early 80s - lack of job related exposure mainly but as time went by, price. I was shocked to see my left-handed hammer from 40 years ago is now a $76 item. And triple digits for a long ratchet? Insane. I do need to replace a few missing SnapOn items but I guess I'll wait until hit PowerBall...
Thanks for the Tekton tour - never heard of them before.
I have a grey and black composite ratchet made by Pittsburg and I LOVE it, I use it every day at work and I'm a mechanic. I've been using it for almost a year now
I love Tekton! Great video
Thanks for the vids. I bought a set of Trkton flip sockets - top quality at a great price.
My pleasure thank you for watching!
Nice presentation. Thanks.
You speak the truth. I have the Tekton impact sockets, 1/2 torque wrench and their oil wrench and I have put these tools to the test. If Tekton doesn’t have the tool I neeed my other go to brand is Gear Wrench. Another great brand at a good price.
I have a set of Tekton wrenches and i love them.
Never a Technician but always a do it my selfier. Add 20 years in the high end tool business. Out of curiosity I ordered a couple of Texton ratchets and other items and they are FIRST CLASS! I would put them against anything on the market!
$35 tax!! lol that was my budget for a socket set back in hs and I still use it
great video bro, thank you for that explanation
You can also get a Dewalt or Milwaukee mechanics tool set for around $200 that has all that stuff in it too as well as other things included. You get better deals when you buy a complete set.
BrotherMan that's a real eye opener there. I new they were HIGH PRICED but dammmm!!
Snap-On is the same ones selling the government $600 toilet seats too!
Yes I have them too try to buy the pliers good quality
Great video, Bryan.
Thanks Bro!
Tektons replacement program is awesome.
This stuff is funny as hell........subbed
These tekton tools are even cheaper on Amazon! I welcome many brands of tools in my tool box, some snap on tools are worth the money, many are overpriced.
thalegacy6 you get 10 percent of what you paid as credit, only if you buy the tools on Tekton’s site. Would recommend comparing prices before buying on amazon.
@@brycelund7155 Thank you for the heads up sir, I really appreciate it!
thalegacy6 No problem.
I bought my first few tekton tools from amazon also, but then decided to go with tekton website. But if you do some deep search. Amazon sells older tekton tools that they no longer have on the website. Whi h is also good. Lol bought a few pulley pullers, tap and die sets, magnets and all. Tekton still covers them. Is great!
10% back, free shipping (no minimum), and NO SALES TAX (if you don’t live in Michigan) make buying direct cheaper than Amazon.
Snap On is like diamonds, they are worth nothing, but people tell you they are really expensive and good which drives the price up. It's artifical pricing, nobody pays 100 for a wrench.
Yes Exactly Right!
Tekton all the way! Good review very good content!
Great video, actually i am replacing all my tools with teckton, i work for a big construction company and i deal with heavy duty diesel equipment and trucks on a daily basis. Thank you.
I used to be a fan of tekton until recently when they denied a warranty claim on a 7 inch long needle nose pliers. They said “we’ve never seen them bend like that” . Also, I’ve noticed that if you shop on the snap on website the prices are significantly higher vs getting them off the truck for about half of their stuff. I don’t know why, it’s just something I’ve noticed.
I bought a flex head 3/8 ratchet from tekton about 4 years ago. So far I have no complaints about it. I honestly didn’t think it would last this long with the price I paid for it on Amazon.
The comparison is insane.
Their ratchet wrenches do look pretty sweet
You'd be hard pressed to find a tool today that doesn't perform as it should. Made by anyone. With some notable exceptions. You can't for instance cheap out on a tap and die set. Crappy taps and dies are crappy. But hand tools? They all do the same basic thing. $35 for a screwdriver is getting a screwing alright. You should be able to buy a whole set for half that price. It is unlikely you're working on super fasteners where any difference in the tool is going to make that big a difference on the job.
Shout out from the 209 🤘🏽
I buy SnapOn tools because I love ALL tools but I know I am overpaying for them when I do buy them and I also know that they will do nothing more for me than all the other tools I own. SnapOn is really just a status and a name. My kids come out to the shop and tease me for getting my SnapOn tools dirty. They will last me forever because I am too afraid to use those expensive little boogers.
I use mine everyday will still last me forever if the chrome chips snap will warranty it
@@michaelovers688 Snap-On warranty depends on your relationship with their rep. You buy stuff all the time sure you're their buddy. They don't know you? Get lost! That's the reality of the Snap-On warranty.
fair enough. Just like a Lady with her overpriced $10,000 GUCCI purse. She knows it's a rip off (hmm, or maybe not) but she loves it.
Paul Frederick Get your self a better tool man.
@@waterloo123100 I am happy with the tools I have.
If it makes you feel any better, That snap on ball peen dead blow hammer was originally made by trusty cook. Since the patients have expired snap on has decided to go their own separate way and make them themselves.... However you can still get that same read trusty cook dead blow ball peen hammer from Tekton these days. 👍🏻
so in this case, the Tekton tool really is on the same level. And let’s face it do you really need to be spending that much more money on the same exact tool. With the same exact handle. In the same color....
I bought HF swivel head the other night and it's the same exact as the Tekton just different color handle.
I bought a metric set of the flex head ratcheting wrenches and they're amazing. I'll only buy 6 point tools, as 12 pointers are useless in the rust belt.
I'll admit that I too have been on a tekton kick recently. Since I'm a student I get the student discount as well as the cash back and Ill tell you that it's well worth it. The only tool I've been disappointed with was their impact u joints. I blew the 3/8 u joint up first time using it with a milwaukee impact. I should've known better though I must admit. Overall great products! Definitely one of my favorite tool lines!
Tyson Maylone try sunex universal impacts they kick ass and cheap!!
You got a new subscriber
Surprised by the price of the SO dead blow; it's on par with other quality dead blows. The screwdrivers were expensive, but IMO the ratchet is worth its cost. This being said, I'm very impressed by Tekton - from the packaging and presentation to finish quality.
I have their 3/8 impacts, pliers made by Wilde that Tekton sells at a lower cost, and a sample pack of the screwdrivers. No complaints. Thinking about it, I paid $6 for the 4-pack of screwdrivers. Wanted to check them out. Their tips - PH1 and PH2 - fit fasteners surprisingly well. I'm pretty tempted to go for the 6-point ratcheting wrenches you showed.
I discovered Tekton tools years ago. In about 2015 Tekton offered a 135 piece mechanics tool set with carrying case, a selection of the most common sizes in SAE and Metric wrenches, 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” drive ratchets and sockets, together with a wide assortment of hex drive bits for Torx, Phillips, Allen, etc., plus the hex bit driver and one extension for each size socket drive, all for $62.99 delivered, from Amazon. That set, Tekton part number 1859, is no longer available, but what a bargain it was. I use it daily and would buy another one if they were still available. The good quality Harbor Freight impact sockets work well, as do their long handled metric wrenches for getting into tight spaces. As some of us find out the hard way, chrome sockets can be easily destroyed by impact drivers. I like used Snap-On Tools, but new ones are beyond my budget. Thanks for the video.
Thank you
I love tools!
I know a young mechanic that spent $10k on a Snap On Chev Bellaire tool cabinet JUST THE FRIGGIN CABINET!
I had a hard time trying to tactfully tell him that his money could have been better spent.
Bryan, looks like great organization in drawers.
Thanks William!
There's something that makes people feel good when saying something like "One of my sockets cost more than your whole set"
$35.26 for a screwdriver.
Goddamn. Talk about the Apple monitor stand of tools.
I have purchased tecton sets for wrenches and pliers and I feel their quality compares to the best. Small, family run American company that cares about their product.
Price vs value is the thesis for this video. If snap on outlasts three two one, but costs five to one, then snap on is a poor value.
I'll take SK over snap on any day. I love anything Knipex. Old craftsman are good, and I'll grudgingly admit that craftsman is improving its quality.
It's no value for your money not having enough tools to do the job.
Right!
If I am in tight spot with a boxed end wrench, I will grab the 12 pointer every time.
I had a 2017 blew transmission... Got a 2003 never been happier
My snap on auto rachet is my only snapon tool. 400 buck aroonies for a new one, glad i got it for the price of a bit of labor.
Great video! What is that music that’s playing while your putting the tools away?
Thanks, Steve Heres a link enjoy! th-cam.com/video/2OvJo-jQS7o/w-d-xo.html
My friends father is a retired corrections officer in upstate ny. Big snap on guy. $10,000 box loaded with tools all snap on. So his son got $500 gift voucher for xmass. 1 ratchet and 4 flat wrenches later the $500 was ate up. I'll stick with off brands . I'll never own a snap. I'm to good of a person to buy something so low and degrading. I see snap on tools and laugh
Tekton tools are great,
I use them every day in a AG shop and trust me when I tell you they can take a BEATING!
Especially the 1/2 impact sockets.
My torque wrenches from Snap-On are the only thing from Snap-On that I justify the ticket price. Aside from that, I love my proto.. great video bud
As far as measuring tools, Starrett. Never let me down.
Icon > Strap-On
This must have come up on my feed because I was looking at the Snap-On site yesterday. I thought I had lost one of the few Snap-On tools I own (1/2" extra long ratchet) and was wondering how much it would have cost to replace it (fortunately I found it) $187, plus whatever it would cost to get it into the UK. A few years ago, I bought my late father a set of 1/4" drive sockets and a ratchet from a well-known UK supplier of good quality tools (Machine Mart) and it was about £20. The same thing from Snap-On was over £200!
They're good, but not that good.
19:20 - We ALL do this with our shit... Then we close the drawer, the drawer liner underneath bunches up and we can't read the sizes anymore... Such is life...
You can get a free magnetic size comparison chart when you pay over 100 in tools on tenting right now. It’s only $4 but cool to put on the tool box.
Well in the day when I still turned wrenches I bought snap on tool boxes because it helped sell some of my home garage shop. People pull in and see snap on and give me credit for having snap on tools when inside the boxes I had every brand of tool. They didn't see them and if they did the job I used them. I went all snap on when I started butthe box was less than full and I needed all the tools cause starting over is really hard to do with a low cash reserve. If I had a ton of cash then I got snap on or mac. Both pretty good but expensive and then when I learned more about how made or who was the parent tool company, I bought bulk and it saved me a lot of grief as it does take more than spanner and screw drivers to go to the shop and remove all of what it took to say remove and engine or some other large item. I did over the years acquire a lot of very good tools but I still used whatever fit my hand and not name only. When starting over it is a very hard thing to do is fill the box so I would get what they see and use most cheap tools out of what they never seen. If your working for someone then that doesn't apply to what they want. I loved working for myself. And I didn't/ wasn't forced to get tools I couldn't afford
You could have just bought a Snap-On box logo you dummy! They sell just the logo.
The new Icon tools at Harbor Freight are a serious competitor to Snap On!
I love the idea of ratcheting wrenches but at least 1 wrench out of every set I have the ratchet side pops out. Every single set. It’s mostly the 1/2 and 5/8.
I got out of tech school about a year ago, and I also bought a bunch of Craftsman stuff like the socket set from tekton you showed a 100$ torque wrench some impact sockets and basic other tools, I pretty much bought everything that was in our boxes at school, one thing I will say is buy a good impact, I bought a cheap impact gun from advance Auto, it came with impact hammer grinder and air ratchet for like 40$ I thought it was a steal, the gun was pretty weak though, a month or so later I bought an ingersol Rand 2235timax from the gear wrench guy for about 400$ I think and I came with a ir drill too, great gun I've been using it for a year now, easy to take apart and mantain too, and where my mom works she can get me any part I need for that gun if I need it, the gun is running great though. Cool video anyway. Bought my first peice of snapon the other day, a 50$ light just so I could have something snapon, but the light will come in handy
I have a 4 2235 ir guns and a pt850 snap on I still keep one ir gun at work just in case the snap on craps out lol they're very good guns for the money when they get week spend 50 bucks for a rebuild and you're good to go
Liked your video. Getting my tools together. Thanks , and I subscribed.
Thank you for subscribing!
I can’t get over how expensive Snap On stuff is. Perhaps the thought process is sell them to professionals who want “the best” as they can write it off. For occasional use tools I just can’t justify the expense.
The US military exclusively uses Snap-On tools so they're on the ultimate gravy train. A customer with bottomless pockets that'll pay whatever price you say. So if every private mechanic stopped using Snap-On tools tomorrow it wouldn't hurt the company's bottom line one whit. In fact it'd probably streamline their operations and make them even more money.
I love my Tekton socket set, I think they make great tools in general. I think professional brands like Snap on, Proto, Blackhawk, SK, Mac, Matco , Wright, have there place though. It's just crazy to buy all your tools of one of those brands you would spend way more than you need to. Personally one tool I think it's worth spending the bigger dollars on are combination wrenches. You take something like the Snap on flank drive, or Wright grip wrenches no cheaper brand wrench can even come close to comparing especially with the open end of the wrench. Bolt extractors are another tool it's worth buying the professional brand. Because if you are in a position where you need an extractor it's gotta work, at that point the last thing you need is it to slip or break.
No argument here! I own some Wright tools stuff including the wright grip wrenches and they truly are worth the money!!
@@Bryan916 I have the wright grip's as well both SAE and Metric . They are much cheaper than the Snap on Flank drive but work just as well.
@@ajs622 For sure!
Are wrenches in 12pt? I come across a few square drives at work and need 12pt for that
Lot of good taiwan tools out there and at amazing prices.
all my daily impact sockets are taiwan and hold up and work great and fifth of the price of snapon on a deal day .
Life warranty not that important too and at snapon prices even if warranty at least twice you still not seeing value.
I can self warranty mail order 1 or 2 days, get napa deliver tools same day with parts or even go out and pick something up locally if real stuck but that never happened to date.
Some things snapon make are great design thus worth having but that list is pretty short., german stahlwille, french facom, japan koken, taiwan Infar, kabo, rotar, kuani etc have world class top design feature tools at total value pricing .
I could not of built my business up if had wasted thousands to a truck tool tab ... also wouldn't of had such a great usable tool collection ...
Koken I was just introduced to got a few things and I'm very happy with what I've brought from them so far
You can get koken via amazon japan at pretty good prices shipped.
Some of the socket swivel and extension designs/concepts simply unique and very useful .
Ratchets are very low back drag and butter smooth and even better with bit of lube, tooth count low so not ideal for everyone but still good idea browse for anything bit unique or worth a try .
Ive got koken sockets and ratchets over 25yrs of professional use and they do pretty good, not busted any sockets or extensions, did bust a breaker bar many years back .
Taiwan has an industrial tradition of quality and value. Their existence depends on it.
Happy Pappy get me some Snappy!
I bought their 1/2 drive ratchet 6 or 7 years ago at a store like Harbor Frieght. Ive had 4 foot breaker bars on it, stood and jumped up and down. Hasnt bent or broken yet. I'm 250lbs.
Great job my brother and can You tell me the name of the music would love to use it on one of my videos
Sure heres a link.

On one hand Snap-On tools are way too expensive. But on the other hand, they really do make great tools that last. Almost all of my tools are Snap-On, but I either bought them over two decades ago when they weren't as expensive as today, or I patiently got them off ebay or craigslist at a fraction of the list price, but without warranty. If I was a professional technician, I suspect I wouldn't be buying mostly Snap-On.
I have snap on 1/2 inch ratchet that I bought at a pawnshop over 25 years ago that broke and one day while driving down the road I saw a snap on truck at a gas station/garage and I took my used pawn shop ratchet in and the guy in the truck didn't ask me for a receipt and he fixed my broken ratchet for free so I have no complaints
I just got off the phone with Snap On and they told me that you could fix more than twice as many cars with that $370 pile of SO tools than the $370 Tekton.
Mechanics prefer the large brands for 3 reasons.
1, The tools come to you, you need something, your a snap-on man, you phone him up and he is on his way.
2, Payments, greatest thing on earth for a company. They set aside so much money per month, week, or whatever for tool costs. for a job that needs a $90 tool, you cant charge an extra $90 for the job, you can charge some but it has to be included into labor costs. Most of the time is a flat rate, so you can get the tool and add it to the payment, bumps payment up $5 and you put your new tool in your box and move on with life. By the next time you have to add another tool, the first is or is almost paid off.
3, Most tools can supply home-gamers with all the thrills of changing their own oil in their nissan. But for the guy who is going to do it 100 times a day, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year... Not so much. The reason Snap-on tools are sooooooo high is your buying a tool that assures you that this IS THE BEST for doing THIS job, and there is no denying it. That's why they are still sold, that's why there are still around. Any shop teacher, professional, or anyone who has a life time of experience with tools will tell you "Cry once" Yes you will spend a shit ton a cash, ONE TIME, not every 4 months when you have to buy that 3/8 ratchet yet again because that last bolt was actually welded and you have stripped the gears in your milfuky ratchet. Yes you can buy cheap tools but for the ones who use them EVERY DAY and EVERY WAY. Snap-On, Matco, Mac.. only tools to use.
@@PrinceHolliday I call your bullshit! Go tell that to the new tech. I have been working on cars trucks big trucks work boats heavy equipment for just over 40 years! I have USA made Craftsman SK Eastwood and those cheap harbor freight Chinese made junk.. I work 5 to 6 days a week and rarely break my tools! So don't tell me about rebranded snap on tools are the best tools because I have broke more of their junk than my harbor freight Chinese junk! And I don't own a box that cost more than my house and 5 trucks I own!
When it comes to impact guns, what company do you recommended? I’m working on filling up my first tool chest and looking into getting a air compressor to make it easier on lug nuts, and all the tough nuts that has high torque, and notable my back hurt. And when it comes to air compressors is there a certain brand that is more reliable or better than the rest?
If you're a weekend warrior , buy cheap tools , if your in the trade , buy the best you can afford , I started off with cheap tools , then as I noticed the common daily tools breaking more often, I upgraded to snap on . The snap on tools break like any other , but takes more abuse , however if you're in need of a replacement, sometimes you can calls snap on and he will show up within 20 mins depending on where he is ... Paying for quality , reliability, and service too
Great vid bro💪🏿
