does snap on make you a better mechanic? just asking... no pun intended..

86SR522REEFI · 09-01-2006, 06:04 PM

no it just means you dont have to go to sears when you break everything

rngrchad · 09-01-2006, 06:05 PM

I have snap-on impact sockets and ratches, I have mac wratches and mac sockets, I have cornwell ratchets, I have craftsman wratchets, I have bluepoint air wrenches, and ingersol rand impact guns. I like them all. I use them all. I have debt to every damn tool truck that comes and goes around central ohio. I WISH I DIDNT HAVE SNAPON TOOLS, or MAC TOOLS. I would have a lot more money!

rollem · 09-01-2006, 06:14 PM

Go to sears or chase a truck.... But who assumed it was sears....lol
They're all probally made at the same factory....

wjwerdna · 09-01-2006, 06:18 PM

napa is made at same place as sears i am guessing, cuz my "mechanics set" i bought at sears had 4 napa wrenches

86SR522REEFI · 09-01-2006, 06:31 PM

sears sucks. i know cus i worked there

rollem · 09-01-2006, 07:37 PM

Then you get free tools. then That doesn't suck.. Fringe benefits...

My friend who works at a shop spends the bucks on Snap On,so much so he got two tickets to last year's Bronco/Charger game 4 rows up behind Denver's bench from his Snap On rep.

desertyota · 12-12-2006, 11:16 AM

I'll buy wrenches and stuff like that from craftsman but ratchets and torque wrenches I'll only buy from snap on or one of the other good quality tool guys. The craftsman stuff just doesn't come anywhere close in quality.

I rounded off a ton of brake flare fittings using Craftsman until I went and got a Snap on one.

My Craftsmen torque wrench stopped clicking at certain points so I got a SnapOn on.

Craftsmen are much better than cheapo... and alot cheaper than SnapOn.

S&K are good too BTW.

hamstrungtaco · 12-12-2006, 10:58 PM

anyone use what i like to call "rolls royce" Armstrong tools, some of there stuff makes snapon look like craftsman

Trumpfan · 12-12-2006, 11:04 PM

SK sockets and ratchets, snap on performance minus the mark up. I actually think that the sockets are better than Snap Off. my 0.02$

Yoda · 12-13-2006, 04:51 AM

I have a lot of snap-on. Been buying craftsman, but it is definitely a GIANT step down in quality. Just finding it hard to justify $20 for a 8mm wrench. But, sometimes I can convince my buyer the shop NEEDS to have a particular snap-on tool.

Example.....I was tearing down a Chev Impala when the boss walked by. He was observing all the carbon buildup inside the intake plenum. asked "is that all the buildup you have been talking about", I said yup, now we have a Motorvac coming

rocket · 12-15-2006, 11:28 PM

I just bought my first snap-on "tool"....a used 13pc 3/8" swivel impact shallow metric 6-point sockets (8-22mm). Won them on eBay for $265 shipped.

Same set as these..

I hated paying as much as i did but I will own them for life and you can't beat the quality!

the_4runnin'_beast · 12-16-2006, 04:23 AM

I never buy SnapOn. I always buy Mac. Never had a single problem with them, in all the tools I bought.

blakjak · 12-16-2006, 06:54 AM

They're all made by the same 3 or 4 companies anyway. Between Danaher (spelling?) and Stanley I think they make damn near 90% of the hand tools out there.

Wasn't there a huge thread somewhere on this before? Maybe some other forum? It ended up being the main difference was the alloys used and the casting/forging/finishing process??

I'll have to see if I can find it. I remember after reading the article I was going to quit wasting my money and just buy Stanley tools from now on. About all I own right now is either craftsman or stanley anyway.
