Yeah..from my college i get a 55 percent of snap on, and I like their wrenchs and ratchets over the rest, so I ordered my tools, I know the snapon guy in my area...I decided to go for a kennedy tool box though, I got one of their benchmark series and I am very happy with it and cost alot less than the its snap on counterpart with the same quality.

Are there any of these dealers in Canada? I need a new box - I have the single wide, full height chest from Craftsman and it is too small. I need one wider. These look nice.

All the big 4 do that... You going to Norfolk, VA? If so you will have a MAC guy down there also... And Matco... And Snap-on... I think Your mac guy will be Buddy Weavor... Norfolk is split up between three routes.

Gentlemen, we have veered WAY off topic again. We would appreciate it if we could stick to the topic of the thread. Thanks.

SK for all sockets and ratchets, Snap On for screwdrivers and wrenches as well as some specialty tools, Blue Point for ball peen hammers, Fluke or UEI for meters, Matco for wrenches, pry bars, extractors, Craftsman for wrenches, torque wrenches, IR for air tools, Stanley for thermos bottle... You get the picture. I have friends who are Mac, Matco, Snap On dealers, but none of them have good coffee.

My favorite of all though, is SK. They have an INCREDIBLE warranty and aren't too bad on the wallet. However, there are some tools you can go on the cheap for. Just don't go getting an egg on your forehead if they break.
