Reacting to a battle of the toolboxes! Snap-on vs Husky!

[@Sin-Dicate]

I like snap on but I love money. 400 dollars vs 14k is a big difference. I’m not throwing shade. I’m a firm believer in whatever makes you happy do it. That being said I would rather have money in the bank.

[@alexp6016]

Agreed. I like my Snap On tools, but I could never justify paying for a box. I love my Harbor Freight boxes.

[@Elypternal]

Were you guys paying 14 for a box? Used epics with hutch and a side locker or just box itself maybe around 4.5 k

[@Elypternal]

With hutch and side locker around 6k at most

[@leonardobehrens1204]

Agreed. If money was abundant id look at SO, Mac or Even Matco tool boxes.nothing else... maybe a SO ratchet thats it. In Canada we lack offers and the other day i called a SO dealer i was trying to track down because im a Sparky apprentice who likes DIY everything even mechanical. I told him you offer discount to apprentices on more trades right? He said gladly yes "just provide the trade apprenticeship number we all have" you buy up to 15,000. It was a sad day. Couldn't afford almost 6,000 for a new small box. I ended buying a Milwaukee with wood countertop, power bar, soft close thicker steel thab regular husky but up there with their heavy duty line. For 1,341 CAD (around 990 usd) couldn't be happier and satisfied. Its filled with Stahlwille wrenches, Klein, Wera, Koken, Vessel, Astro, Gripedge, USAG, Milwaukee hand tools, Gear wrench, oem, lisle, Husky, Toughbuilt, Maximum, Milwaukee M12 and 18V Ridgid. Just what's almost the best on each brand and or whats needed.

[@nascagy]

Yup theres to much shit i can say about snap on but hey if people want to spend good money on a snap on go for it.Eventually we all spend money on dumb shit to make us happy.

[@vypersoft1]

Not a day goes by that I do not feel the need to stand in my toolbox...some time I just stand there all day waiting for the next oil change.

[@markusa5521]

Lmfao😂😂

[@ftkinney]

I bought my Snap On box used for $940.00 it was made in 1986 and is a tank, however I have no desire to ever step on or in it...:-)

[@Val.Tools.]

Used boxes are always a great way to go!

[@thinman8621]

A lot of guys don't just stand in a drawer of their toolbox. They invite friends over, too. "Hey, what's up bro? Nothing man. I'm just standing around in my toolbox." These are the same guys that think a Toyota Corolla is as good as a Ferrari because both will carry the same sack of groceries. You be you.

[@iFixJunk]

I have a Snap-on box. It's almost 50 years old. And it was free. And it's only like 26" wide. And it was free.

[@bryans5339]

Harbor Freight: Hyundai or Kia Snap On: Bentley or Rolls Royce

[@tommystampie7215]

More like Hyundai and genesis same crap high price tag

[@ericluba6287]

Damn I wish my snap on Dealer looked like you. I would buy the whole truck. 😘

[@buffystclair9042]

Before all the wide monster boxes were common I had a friend who traded his snap on box for a much bigger Mac box, the big lower drawer welds broke just by putting all his air tools in it. Im only 5’8” and at that time about 180. I could not see in the top of my box , roll cabinet, mid section , and top box. The bottom drawer was often a step for me to get to the top

[@joehead1294]

The tool box doesn't make the mechanic. And I say this with over 40 years in the trades. If you like to move around a lot, and most mechanics do, buy several small boxes that you can put together, otherwise prepare to call a wrecker.

[@happygarage6310]

I've seen that video. I am certain the classic96 I bought in 2006 had 4 slides on the deep drawer. But I traded out of that 3 years ago, so I could be mistaken.

[@IIlicit]

snapon box is about 13 thousand dollars more expensive, and all that money gets you is a drawer that bends compared to the el cheapo box

[@JUDGERAMBO]

Only lasts if you take care of it.

[@erichaymore5902]

Another thing people tend to forget is how miserable it is to move a cheap toolbox. They tend to fall apart. If you are not one to move your toolbox often you might get a lot of years out of a cheap box. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@droidchevere]

Val was very nice about it . The guy in the snap on box definitely doubled the boxes limit on that drawer . I just got a Mac tools tech 1000 out of a storage auction and it’s heavy as sin compared to any Home Depot has in store that size .

[@chadjohnson2853]

Or he doesn’t have any tools 🔧🔧. I have the epic model. Snap-on .. it’s purely pride. Boxes don’t make you a penny in the beginning!! But they sure make you feel good in the end ❤❤❤

[@chadjohnson2853]

@val_tools WTF does that mean ???

[@chvytom]

Any excuse to make snap on Better but not justify the cost

[@davehaggerty3405]

I like this. An evaluation of an evaluation. I have an 8 year old US General ll that is like new. Because I’m not a mechanic!

[@roninbushito]

I have a kra and I’m not a mechanic

[@bang2020]

You are delusional

[@perlaramirez720]

I would never choose a snap-on box because im not trying to have debt for the rest of my life

[@HiFiInsider]

i could not find my local dealer and snap on customer service on the phone won’t tell me. they told me to buy from their website. :(

[@ashhgetdatcashh]

Its true i do want a snap on box even tho ❤

[@ShawnC8030]

$400 vs $8000 72" snap on classic. Be better comparing the US General and still have money left over 😂

[@sleektoneofficial]

Speaking truth right there. I tell you what i know quantity never compares to quality. And when you buy cheap tools thats exactly what you get a whole lot quantity and no quality (most times douglas usa pliers 16$ best pump pliers EVER) because youll be buying new “inexpensive tools” over and over again and they aint fun to use.

[@clayton9136]

Doesn't crash down. So what if it's anchoring the box? Its not tipping cause it's full of tools. No I wouldnt have a snap on box.

[@fredpierre2216]

No one needs a Lamborghini. But people still buy them. Why did the guy have to hold the box from tipping over? The Snap-on very deep drawer only had one slide rail, for being so deep!

[@wadecrowe3370]

Thank you Val.

[@turbro7185]

Is it ok to start off with mid range tools for the first couple of years because tool truck tools are so expensive just a set of deep and shallow chrome sockets are like $800 I could get a set of 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 sockets with ratchets and extensions and have money left to buy wrenches and other stuff the automotive industry doesn’t really pay a lot compared to other trades and it’s one of the most expensive investment out of all of them where majority of your paychecks for the first few years goes into your tools people debate that cheaper tools get the job done the same way an expensive high quality tool truck tool does and if it brakes they have lifetime warranty and can replace them every time they break and they save money not buying tool truck brand tools why others argue that time is money and tools are how they make their living off they don’t want to waste time finding a replacement or borrowing a tool they broke or driving to the store to warranty it that they withstand daily abuse working on cars because of the higher quality materials it’s a whole back and forth debate about this I would certainly love to have snap on tools if I could comfortably afford them I want to take pride in my investment for the career I’m probably going to do till I retire

[@roninbushito]

Snapon ratchets aren’t that expensive people spend $200 on Nikes people spend too much money on fads that don’t last. I would buy snap-on hardline tools

[@thedirtgod602]

This chick tows the company line....

[@thedirtgod602]

She said you "Can add a second set of slides to the drawer" so pay more money for an already over priced hunk of shit.

[@BA-pz3lo]

i wanna see CP the tool addict stand in that box 👍

[@user-qk9he7se5w]

Husky is better but val from snap on boost morale if you know what i mean

[@radcarmodifications]

Wveryone i know with a snap on box tells me they regret spending so much on it cause i bought harbor freight yukon boxes and they are nicers and hold up better and if your paying 15k for a tool box it better have double sliders thats a rip off

[@roninbushito]

I doubt it everyone says hobo fraud is junk scraps.

[@roninbushito]

That guy is easy over 200 lbs in the snapon

[@Mick698]

How do you know if snap on box is not fixed to the wall? Snap on still has great quality but is way overpriced

[@chevytrucks5014]

Snap on is over rated...my us general box is just as good as a snap on box for way less money..

[@grimassgrimey5194]

Delusional

[@ThatSaskGuy]

But $400 vs $14,000

[@roninbushito]

No one pays full price for snapon

[@moshet842]

Snap On is incapable of making me me an offer that would have me pleasantly surprised. I like my money to stay in my account for as long as possible. Heck I won't even buy a car on credit. I have a hard time justifying the free money in interest the bank gets to keep.

[@grimassgrimey5194]

Your poor

[@roninbushito]

Keeping money in the bank doesn’t make you money. Actually wealthy people always use credit they don’t pay cash, only poor people use cash

[@rogercook1177able]

$10,000!

[@roninbushito]

No way

[@schlomoshekelstein908]

so if i buy a snapon box it wont tip over? wtf are you even going on about. can't have more than one drawer open at a time... lmfao who the fuck keeps drawers open? and im pretty sure it sability to tip is dependant on how much heavy shit you put in the bottom drawers. if its empty it's gonna tip easy

[@jesusalvarez1080]

Why did you make a second video to defend the snap-on it lost just take the L.i rather spend less money on good tools to get the job done then to be in debt.. at the end of the day all it does it holds your tools nothing more nothing less

[@ThePrankDudes]

The new us general boxes are really good for the price. Id rather spend 1k then 9k for basically the same thing. You guys are a scam.

[@grimassgrimey5194]

Delusional

[@grimassgrimey5194]

Husky is tin metal scraps I wouldn’t even use for home use. I use a heritage at home

[@jamesford1096]

@@grimassgrimey5194 Good for you. Your majesty. Snap-on uses a Strap-on once you step on the truck. Everyone knows you go on tool trucks bent over walking backwards waiting to take it.
