Snap-on BUY ONCE, CRY ONCE should be their other alternative. The regret you have for SO is when you are paying for them. Not when using them. Nothing worse than when you have to buy another tool because you’re less expensive alternative failed. I’ve limped off the truck with my wallet bleeding but never regretted any of them.
Sir, Fantastic channel you have, keep up the good work. I was a Snap-On dealer for 15 years and really studied their products and most of all their history and how deep they were in the building of the USA industrial section. WW2, and all the top car makers, NASA and the space program, not to mention all the nuclear plants. The nuclear plants have clean rooms and Snap-On has made special toolboxes and all Crome hammers with special interest in the forging and metal compositions as to not infect other materials it touches. WW2 Snap-On tools made 9/32 drive socket sets and ratchet sets (these are in-between 1/4 and 3/8 drive for tanks and other vehicles and the standing order was to throw the tool away if captured so the enemy would have to manufacture tools to disassemble our tanks etc.). All the airplanes manufactured had special tools to work on bolts that were in hard-to-reach places. They have special catalogs for that. A little-known fact, Barksdale air force base flew a special snap-tool to Iraq before the gulf war to start, something to do with loading the bombs on the B-52's. WOW, one company the USA depending on, (top that you look alike tool company's). The list goes on and on the more people you meet in the company. Why the success, very simple, everyone except the clerical is on Commision. Nobody gets paid until the tool is sold. You talk about a sales force that is motivated, it's shocking to see a district manager or sales manager cleaning your tools while you're in the shop talking to customers. They did a BILLION dollars in 1989 while the others did 3,4,5 million. They have a passion for their products, and everybody knows their job. Snap-On is in it for the long haul to help our economy and keep Americans working, never met a negative person working for the company. They really care for their dealers and especially their customers. If you have any questions please reply, Les.
I have such a love hate relationship with you! Most of the time I agree with everything you say, but once you turn into a SP Tool rep I want to run. Both these Snap On videos are great, well done dude 👍
Also share price doesn’t matter... it’s market cap that matters. A lot of companies like to maintain a specific stock price and will release new stock when the unit price gets too high. TTI has a valuation about 20x higher than snap on
For a couple years Snap On didn't stamp USA on their ratchets,I have a few of them this way.Snap On did have a hand tool plant in Canada,some were made in Canada.Snap On did sell tools to our military during WW2,these era tools are different in a few ways with no warranty on them.No lines on the sockets and extensions with a dull finish with a letter V in the part number in this era military tools.Was in the contract,no warranty on them.Latest warranty with Snap On I had was with 3 slotted screwdrivers,the tips were chrome peeling with the shanks replaced under warranty.Snap On covers chrome peeling under warranty,a safety issue cutting the user
I used to be almost always on default toward Snap On. But their prices have gotten so High and they’re quality hasn’t kept up, especially in the electronics area. So many products made overseas. Now I buy from them only if I can justify doing so and not by default.
In my area there have been _multiple_ Cornwell, Mac and Matco reps each, respectively. Cornwell and Matco no longer show up. There's only been 1 Snap on rep and he shows up every week for decades.
The price to me doesn’t matter. It’s their model that is antiquated. They need to boost their online presence, maybe offer a corporate owned retail experience and start buying back their trucks. I have deep pockets, and I try really hard to give my snap on dealer money... but his general unresponsiveness and lack of stock makes it just make more sense for me to order stuff online. I think a lot of these guys have zero clue on how to run a business... they just like tools and think hey I can get paid to hang around tools all day.
I have finally got a amazing rep that comes every week on time everytime and has no problem doing warranties that are needed very happy now after having reps disappearing on and off year after year hard to keep reps coming to the small place i live and the places my shops are @Rustbelt Mechanic
I've been buying Snap-on since 1969 when I started in with National Airlines. My experence with their reps has been good to great 95 % of the time. My current dealer is excellent. All that being said I agree with your assesment of the company. Keep the videos coming
Thanks for the informative videos. I would like to add that you can buy Snap-on tools on-line directly and also there is a HUGE new, like new, and barely used inventory of Snap-on tools available from sources such as E-bay, Garage Journal, Craigslist, estate sales, etc. To me, that is giant advantage of the Snap-on brand being around for so long. The next best is vintage Craftsman tools. Those are in the best 'bang for the buck' category for new or experienced technician. Keep up with the great videos. Thank you.
Excellent and informative vid, the laws of diminishing returns definitely kick in with nearly all high end products from tools to exotic vehicles. At some point you will pay a lot more money for that extra 10 or 20% increase in performance or quality. For some who have the need/budget for that increase, it is well worth the cost, for others the sweet spot is trying to find the best bang for your buck without to many compromises for your needs.
I have been in the industry for over 16 years and have had a few snap on dealers. I have never seen that actually happen. Most never let the new guys go over a couple hundred dollars for awhile. I have heard of it. Maybe new dealers are more prone to doing that.
A good rep makes a huge difference. I had a couple that would pull up. Maybe smoke a cigarette and expect people to come to them. The one I have now goes around to everyone to see what we need, has pretty much whatever you need on the truck and takes the time to look for tools he doesn’t stock. I wish I could have given my money to a guy like that instead of most of our dealings being warranty repairs but then again I would have spent a lot more.
I would have say that not all their hand tools are made in the USA. I have two adjustable wrenches that say Spain on them and a 1/4 flex ratchet that says nothing of where it was made. That don't let that bother me though since they are lifetime guaranteed if either one breaks.
Snapon sucks I've spent 10's of thousands of dollars on their tools and my dealer quit the route and they haven't filled it in 2 years and now I have no support for my warranties and i can't upgrade or update my scanner without a dealer and all they tell me is sorry so screw snapon
If SO lowered their prices, I could see a lot of them not liking the company as much. It's easy to imagine when you buy a super expensive tool you like to feel like you've made it
I just bought a krsc46 in matte black and it picks up fingerprints SOO easily. How do you keep yours clean? Love the content by the way man! Keep it up!
Its called pay 2 play... You can buy other tools off a snap on truck lol plus number 1 mistake is a snap on box unless the don't make a box big enuff for all your tools...
Well let me just give you a piece there bub since you want to bring up the military, so I have been a diesel mechanic in the US Navy for 15 years, I don’t know what level of stuff you do with your pretty little toolbox behind you but we actually do full rebuilds on engines, constant head change outs, combi coolers, valve lashing on a Colt, Detroits and Issota Franchini and more engines you have no clue about, everyday 24 hours a day using these tools non stop, while at sea mind you not fun, all of our Snap on tools ain’t worth a crap, I have a set of kolbolt tools that I bought to take with me on deployment about 5 years ago and it has lasted 3 very long deployments, I would rather dump every piece of crap snap on tool into the ocean
I know its not a super big deal but I like snap on color customization. They cater to the techs color want. I like green tools and am willing to pay extra for it.
Insecure? I see Snap-on as the best tools Period. When you earn your living as a tech you invest in the best to give you the best result.Having the knowledge,experience and the best tools to DO the job efficiently is the name of the game. Snap-on was,is and I think always will be the king of the hill. stay safe & keep on wrenchin'. Cheers!
I wish my current rep was as good as my previous rep, I almost can't get anything now from my current rep. It's like groundhog day every week when he comes
A major issue from snap on, and I know you touched on it in the last video, is their reps. My coworker took his creeper to the rep to get it warrantied b/c the frame welds snapped, and the rep said thats not his job he needs to call it in. Like what?
I've had several different tool truck dust some great some others not so much I buy the tools not on the rep but the tools I want depending on the big 3
I appreciate your videos, they're very informative and well thought out. I agree with a lot of what you've said in these recent ones; to point out one thing: quality of rep. I had one rep for a few years who was awesome, he became a friend as well as rep. I got a new job in July, and now my rep is so-so. Definitely makes a difference.
Snap on is the best to me because, I have a ton of hand tools for over 20years and maybe had to replace a couple over the years. See, you don’t buy tools because of a lifetime warranty. You buy quality tools, because when your working on something, time is money. If your tools always breaks or breaks often, that’s wasted time. Over 20 years, Snap on tools have very rarely cost me time because they broke. That’s why you pay the higher price.
In my area, all the tool dealers come and go except MAC. Here's the deal He doesn't do warranties and he charges full list price. If you overlook those things, he's a great guy. But I just won't do business with him for those two reasons. And he has gotten upset with me when he sees me with new tools from the other guys and I just go well, they beat your price AND they warranty their shit 🤷♂️
I’ve only been in the industry for about 2-3 years and I’ve only broken one socket it was my 17mm 3/8th chrome shallow socket but I’d had used it as an impact socket 😓 and there was one day I couldn’t remove a brake caliper bolt no matter what I tried my 3/8 swivels, 1/2 swivels and I used my long 1/2 ratchet and boom cracked the socket don’t blame snap on blame myself tbh
Here is the problem of buying off brands, remember the warranty from craftsman? I will wait to buy the best for the best price, not Milwaukee nor Dewalt sockets ever. Stabila levels, fluke meters, knipex pliers, bessey clamps, Snap-on mechanics hand tools, Milwaukee mechanics
say you buy it as a gift and give it to someone 2 months later and they use it the first time in 3 months after that and then uses it infrequently the next 10 months ... Toolhead was merch
I think Snap on did for the tool industry what Glock did in the gun industry. Glock marketed themselves very well early on and is the go to service pistol for almost every agency and police department around the world. Even Naval Special Warfare has switched to Glock. Snap On marketed themselves extremely well early on in the 1900s and that reputation carried them on as being the absolute best, arguably they are but the empire of Snap On for sure isn’t going anywhere. The franchisees of Snap On are both their best AND worst assets for sure, some are absolutely awesome and some are just frankly horrible.
The comparison is not valid. 1- Glock is not the choice for most agencies in the US, armed forces uses M9 it has been for over 20 years, Navy seals uses p226 Mk25. 2- Glock is more affordable than many guns "Snap-on is not, it's the most expensive tool brand in the USA more expensive than any other tool by far shot". 3- Glock is not a USA made nor brand. 4- Glock is sold to every you dont have to have a rep. 5- Glock is world wide recognized brand "snap on is not matter fact many countries never heard if it. And some call it crap-on.
@@virusthewolf no offense but the firearms deal is literally my job and has been in that specific arena for 16 years exclusively. Neither one of your US forces comments are accurate now or for the last several years. Also the comparison was made regarding marketing and marketing specifically, origin of the company is irrelevant.
There is one reason only: The addiction of the ones being exploited... Those who want reparations these days should look into how many got lost due to addiction inducted by the tool-truck industry. Drug dealers are successful for the same reason and they use the same selling techniques; putting people in debt! Stay safe mate - nothing personal!
@@RustbeltMechanic It is unfortunate that there are hard headed, biased people out there that don't even take a few minutes to listen to the argument put forth for their educational purposes.
i have 5 grand cash i called snap on they just kept me on hold never answered i wanted to see if i could get the truck to swing bby and let me give them 5 grand but they didn't want it i guess
I completely disagree on the high quality materials of the tools. Take a look at how much thicker the tools are now. Sockets, extensions etc. they beefed them up because the material has less tensile strength. We did tests on it. It’s not the same stuff at the 1990s snap on.., witch was the brands hay day. New screwdrivers are trash. Harbor freight holds up better. As for being a globally traded company….Not good, the board makes decisions and it always in the shareholders best interests. They threw out quality in favor of making a buck. I honestly hate say all this because it was such a good brand. It’s turned into overpriced mediocre tools…..
I watched both videos and you are spot on. I am one of the ones that did not like my franchise. In fact I couldn’t even get him to come by. I was then offered tools through the government representative because we are government. Much better pricing and service. Brendan Bergin has the service the franchisee needs to have.
Bs my snap guy never give or trying to warranty anything even u buy from them many years, and their hand tool Is really good but electric tools Is junk and some or over prize
I couldn't live without snap on, I suffer from a tool addiction. I see my guy twice a week, once at the shop and once at home.
AirRatchet, your lucky, to see your Rep twice a week. We are lucky to see our guy twice in a decade!

Buy once cry until its paid off
Buy once cry once… Until you lose it or it’s stolen.

Consistency in their Reps is my biggest complaint. I’ve had good and bad ones and a good one makes all the difference.
I agree have had the same problem with consistency good and bad reps once in awhile
True mine is always there when I need him
On our third new rep so far this year😡

My son is young mech/tech. Seems like they prey in young ones. Esp the franchise trucks. 1st day on job, here is 10k on credit, go shopping....
Right?!
wut, i dont get it? snapon giving 10k in credit? no thanks, theres a harbor freight down the block
First time I got on a snap on truck was offered the Small CC balance I said no, I always buy straight off the truck.
I thank Snapon Credit. They gave me my credit start when no one else would. I also have tools that have made me so much money. I owe snapon.

100 years nuff said. Invented the mobile tool business.

For sure. I felt that way when I got a big mac tool box. No regrets but the excitement goes away pretty quickly.
Greg Blau the excitement goes away as soon as you look at your bank account the next time
@@danieltubbs458 yeah i only ever get so stuff when i can pay it off at any time with some to spare
Look at the tool box behind you that's why your snap on rep takes care of you if he didn't he's not a business man.!!!

Honestly the snapon matte cleaner works really well for me.
On thing that you missed is. That if they like a company that sells something they like. They will buy that company.
You should do one of these video series for matco too.
Ha! First comment! Hope snap on does stick around, as it would cost me another fortune to replace all my snappy tools, if they fail to warranty them!

As for being a globally traded company….Not good, the board makes decisions and it always in the shareholders best interests. They threw out quality in favor of making a buck.
I honestly hate say all this because it was such a good brand. It’s turned into overpriced mediocre tools…..
I watched both videos and you are spot on. I am one of the ones that did not like my franchise. In fact I couldn’t even get him to come by. I was then offered tools through the government representative because we are government. Much better pricing and service. Brendan Bergin has the service the franchisee needs to have.
Your share price comparison is woefully misleading. “Stay in your lane, bro”
So are they responsible for the $1000 toilet seat that NASA had? ha ha ha
None of this made any sense. The tools are overpriced
Agreee but many others still believe it's snap-on or not. Many other companies make same quality for far less.
Its probably because u put his kid through college
Please clean up that cart !!!
Maybe get good at what you do and looking pretty second just my thaught
Bs my snap guy never give or trying to warranty anything even u buy from them many years, and their hand tool
