Quality is expensive.



But realize SNAP-ON is more than the tool, you are paying for the support!

If you plan on making a living using your tools then you should man up and get the good stuff. Snap on, Mac, Matco, etc....



Once you start using them every day you will realize. Craftsman makes good starter tool boxes though. I would reccomend getting one of those instead of a snap on one to start out with. Remember...the tool box doesn't make you any money, its whats inside.

You must have a small box if all you have is 35K
