Morning Woods.

Snap On tools are nice. Over my budget for what I do.
We do have a few tools from them, ones that we tend to break often (Allen wrenches, Allen socket sets, roll pin punches, a couple ratchets for there many teeth in the head).

Halito Woods. I used to was a mechanic. Back when I started we didn't have much of selection that I recall. The Snap On tool guy did his sales out of a Dodge van!! 1967-68. Bought small box and some wrenches. Grew them over the years. Ended up as certified master mechanic and a fairly large Snap On box with Snap On, Matco, SK, Craftsman, and couple others. Tool box is still in my garage, still works after 50 years. I have bought Harbor Freight and other cheap tools. Some worked, some did not. I say if you do wrenching for a living, buy the best you can. If you just tinker in your garage, pretty much anything would work. Just my thoughts.
Otherwise, hope you wrenchers, watchers, riders, and coffee drinkers have a great day. Remember, I'm pulling for ya....we're all in this together.

Only when you’re here Chuck. To be honest, I been using my much neglected sheet metal tools this week. They’re not bad, very dependable, made by Sioux. I had to go buy a new step drill bit yesterday down here, got a titanium DeWalt for 30 bucks which wasn’t too bad. No doubt gringo pricing.

I get where you're coming from and I even agree but most mechanics can tell you who the hacks are that don't last very long and what kind of tools they have. It's the same song & dance every time.

I have four tool boxes. Two are Blue Point, which is the SnapOn lower end model. Same box, just cheaper. I have a Craftsman, and a Kobalt. Off all the boxes, I use the Blue Point the most, and I like the Kobalt the best.

Morning Woods!
