you dont need tools to work on a mazda. our shop foreman at the dealership had a couple screw drivers and a bunch of hammers, really

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....

My dad killed a Mac impact gun in a couple weeks and hasn't been able to find the Mac guy since....

You must have a small box if all you have is 35K https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Actually I have the biggest snap on 2 bank bottom box with a 8 drawer side box. I use the top of the box as work space.



I have spent about $35000, but I get alot of stuf used or off ebay so I actually have more then that. But like I said, I only need metric stuff, and I have damn near everything I need.

Yeah those goddamn MAC guys are a pain in the ass to find when you need them

i actually prefer craftsman mechanics sets over snap on. not the shitty craftsman you buy at sears but the **** u have to order. good ****. snap on tools well they like to snap because they try to make them smaller so they fit into a tighter space.

I guarantee you I can break/wear out a craftsman tool alot faster than an equivalent snap on tool.

I promise you I could have obliterated a craftsman tool working on Freightliners and ancient Ford CO2000 series (3208 Cat) They would die a horrid horrid death.



Plus there's the fact that the snap-on driver would show up on a weekly basis to fix stuff, bring new stuff and what not.



It was like a little bit of Christmas.



AND if you did manage to obliterate something you could call the Snap-On guy and he'd run to where you were to replace it. Less down time.



And they feel nice yadda yadda. . .

What are you talking about? The Craftsman hand tools are identical to the ones at Sears. You don't get a "better" quality hand tool just by ordering from catalog.



Plus, I'm with 93 R1 also, Craftsman break a bit more easily than Snap On tools.



To the original poster of this thread, thats actually a good price for a ratchet/socket set. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png I would buy that in a heartbeat from Snap On.

my stuff worth about 3k in snap on. I get snap on at "their cost" because Advance has an account with em. Its nice to work in AA sometimes.

Eric Happy Meal 06-18-2004 04:25 PM

but craftsman is perfect for people who dont need to use them extensivley everyday. for instance they have a set with 61 sockets, with 1/4 1/2 and 3/8 drive's and 12 specialty tools for $70. not on sale.
