cny first gen 71 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I agree some of the snap on stuff is way better and worth the money. I bought a 3/8 blue point air ratchet years ago still works great, one of my favorite tools. Also have 2 3/8 snap on impact wrenchs great little tools. Have a lot of there other stuff too from back when I worked in shops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some tools in their catalog/truck that are just just as functional if you get OTC or Lisle, etc branded tools. In some cases, they are EXACTLY identical, as I'm sure you already have seen, lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71SSclone Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Thanks for the info, Joe. I'll have to keep an eye out for a used set. Can't really see me spending over 1k for new set of Snap On, especially now that Im retired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it breaks, the warranty is still in effect, regardless of where you got it from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with craftsman by sears, never had an issue with replacements with new. When I started seeing them in Kmart that's when you got replacements with refurbished. I haven't broken a Kobalt tool (yet I know I just jinxed myself) Ive broken a Husky socket, went to HD and the guy said just go get another, if there are not singles bring me a kit with that socket and I'll swap it for ya. Snap on isnt going do help be be a better wrench turner at this point in life 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant MacPherson Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Wow, this was quite the thread to follow. From how do I get this line off to go with a 4 speed, to I hate working on cars to which tools are best. What a hoot! That alone makes the membership well worth the money. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is we generally always get the subject of the topic handled. Do you realize how short and stagnant these posts would be without our additional input.? Lol. 😝😂 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
