Another example of why it’s only Snap-on when it comes to shop tools and equipment!

[@scottuntz4534]

They have such great service and don’t mind replacing stuff because they charged 20x what it should have cost to begin with

[@brandenhoolehan7149]

Sure…. But like, everything at HF is 1/10th of the cost and still has an unlimited lifetime warranty

[@lumbee1986]

That's how loyalty should work, but not every time.

[@Olsenspec]

We agree! It is becoming more of an old school mentality nowadays. Actually pretty sad! People are less and less interested in taking accountability. Really sad stuff

[@meatwad3000]

Buy whatever tools make you happy. I have some strap on tools but i dont go out of my way to buy them. Usually way overpriced.

[@678friedbed]

you can get good equipment for cheaper and still have loyalty

[@Fp49274]

Yeah but some snap on stuff is worth it considering it’s warranty and depends on what tool you buy if you use it a lot

[@678friedbed]

@@Fp49274 snap on stuff is not worth it.

[@Olsenspec]

What is your preferred brand of tire changer then?

[@678friedbed]

@@Olsenspec well currently I just use some homemade tire spoons. but if I were to get a machine I'd get something used. but just like Snap on jacks, you can get all the same stuff cheaper just with a different sticker on it. I'm not going to spend 4 times the amount on something when I can buy 4 of the exact same piece of equipment with a different sticker on it.

[@Olsenspec]

@@678friedbed Interesting. We run a high end shop, so our machines must be touchless. There are only 4 models that we know of available for this exact specification. And all of them are right at 25-30k. Where can we source one for 12g new?

[@BillBenedict-q3l]

Last I checked snap on is from Milwaukee

[@CurvyRoadsAreBetter]

Not originally. Abe Snap-on still has some offices in Chicago

[@fangzea]

Then snap on gets bought and they quickly turn to trash as they run the loyal customers into the ground.

[@ivanmurdock4481]

Buying American means to buy American. Don't be a fool like this one.

[@tommyk1073]

Tire machine?? How about 2 long handles spoons, a sledge hammer and soap…💪

[@ClappyCakes]

Shows you how much they overcharge your ass in the first place. You already paid for that new one 3 times over 😂

[@Olsenspec]

That machine has paid for itself many many times over at our store! Well worth the money.

[@eagle25311]

I'm not financing socks.

😂😂😂😂

[@tommyk1073]

lol..word

[@mikesmit8385]

Strap on

[@mbrouder]

Kenosha, ain't Chicago.

[@Olsenspec]

That is correct, they have a big plant in Crystal Lake, about an hour outside the CHI. Close enough for us!

[@swimpsmagbayao9513]

Nope

[@thelastengineer2315]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 waste of money

That used to be the American way
