I can't figure some of you guys out with these fancy $6500 plus tool boxes, and thousands of dollars in fancy hand tools. $6500 for a tool box earned you nothing, it just looks good in the shop with the other guys boxes.
I have been fixing since I was 14. I have maybe 3 snap on tools. The rest is good quality other brands,and no mac either.
Snap on warranty does nothing for you the day the $50 wrench falls someplace you can't get it back, or the day the shop clown hits your $6500 toolbox with a combine!. I haven't break much over the years and should I do something stupid and wreck something, I don't need warranty i just replace it, with sensibly priced brand tools.
I still got stuff I bought at 14 and i am 41 now! I�ll be long gone before some of this stuff needs replacing. it gets used hard on some jobs out in the field or shop.
it makes me laugh when i see the dead guys widow selling 50 grands worth of snap on or mac tools for 15,000. I probably got $35.000 of that in the bank earned with my tool investment.
Name brand like snap on doesn't make a mechanic, the ability to use your brain and tools is the secret. I fixed stuff here for customers the 50,000 in tool guys couldn't as they didn't have a clue how the thing was supposed to work.
Don't forget this company are paying him as a bit better than wash boy at the moment He's got to learn and pass tickets to get more money like those of us with experience and done the schooling.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
