I started buying tools when I was 14 and got my first car. I still have some of my first tools also. On average, I've spent about $20 a week or so on tools since then. That was 39 years ago... Lord knows how much money I've made or saved by doing my own work with those tools over the years, and I'm still buying, but my stuff is more exotic and more expensive these days.

I prefer Snap On to any other brand of hand tools, except specialty tools, then I go to the one's who figured it out in the first place. Vice Grips, Crescent Wrenches, etc., are all better than other offerings. Knipco have the best pliers. On it goes. Since I've been an Snap On dealer, I've had a lot of experience comparing one tool to another. Though I started with Snap On way back when I was a kid, I've never been disapointed and I'm still a big customer and fan, enough so that becoming a dealer was a good thing for me. I'm out of the business now (don't care for their business model as a dealer) but still using and buying their tools.

 

My toolbox got a little crushed I was going up the ramps in my ATV when the ATV tire hit the bugle on the bed of my pick-up & I went airborne & landed on the toolbox I had to get a heavy hammer, I made the toolbox functional, but it wasn't pretty

 

See... If you had a real tool box, you could just park the ATV in the side cabinet.

 

Those pick-up tool boxes are junk, my 700 pound ATV + my 169 pound body was just to much, it looked like a beer can that got stepped on

 

i had a banshee destroy mine loaded it on the truck with ramps wasnt payin attention and wham hit the box about went over the handle bars bad nite that nite

 

As long as I own an ATV, I won't put a tool box on my pick-up

 

Just got it, still not big enough....




This is what i came out of

 

Heres my work box. Need to upgrade

 

iv got that same box except mines black. i had to buy some tools cuz im in tech school and we needed them so i took a loan and got the good stuff. while im in school im loving the 50%discount i get for any tools i buy from the snap-on guy.

 

Yeah I just graduated from UNOH and I loved my 50% off . Our school Snappy guy was picky tho and most of the stuff they offered discount I already had. Got the box used so no discount on that either
