| I might start asking for Snap-On tools for Christmas and B-day so eventually I'll have a complete set for everything I'll ever have to do.

| yeah all your paying for with snap on is more chrome dipping... doesnt do much to the tool except make it shinny...lol i have mostly snap on tools and still prefere my craftsman stuff... i have a sear hardware down the street so its easy to replace it when it breaks... finding the snapon guy is hard during the weekend untill the summer.. then he hangs out with my car club... and al my tools get replaced that broke over the winter |

| my dad used creafstman so thats just what i grew up on. and thats what i prefer now. the warranty isnt quite as good as it used to bee but still every bit as good as any other manufacurer. and their tools fit my hand better than any other tool ive ever used. snapon is overpriced and over rated. i can fill my tool box for what one set of snap on wrenches cost. MAC is one of my favorites especially in air tools but also over priced. my dad gave me a Central Pnuematic 1/2 inch air wrench that he had used for years and i still have it today. its the only one i own and i have never rebuilt it! it has taken off stubborn bolts that other high dollar wrenches wouldnt budge! gtta love it |

| I have found some good deals on tools at pawn shops this one pawn shop that I go into somebody must work at Sears and buys tools cheap to re-sale because the store sure has a lot of new Craftsman tools. Just today I bought some steal braided 10' cables with loops on the end for $1.00 dollar each so I bought four not bad I was thinking of using a nylon strap between the cables in case I need to pull someone or get pulled. Say this cables have like dog tags on them I wonder what they were used for? eBay Motors: 16' Steel Tow Cable w/ Hooks Wire Towing Rope Car Truck (item 270387142624 end time May-10-09 14:37:39 PDT) There kinda like this one but like I said they have some round tags on them. ANYONE? |

| stanley, but thats cuz most of my tools are carpentry tools. brand loyalty passed down from my old man... maybe i shoulda bought a different brand so he wouldn't constantly be eyeballin' em... i borrow my buddy's craftsman tools when i think i might break something  this thread reminds me, my drill should be fixed soon! BLING!
