Snap On Dealer Keeps Prying Money out of my Wallet

[@Excaniber]

Nothing beats an epiq box. Drawers are bigger in the 68 than the 84. I own both sizes

[@HeyDerFolks]

Interesting, bigger as in wider or deeper? He had a 68 inch epic for sale on the truck today and it was the layout that I wanted but had the power drawer which I don’t really want. I’m still not ready for the new box just yet, but my plan is to start seriously working on it in 2025. Every time I open the drawers on my husky I have to shake my head, simply no comparison

[@Excaniber]

@@HeyDerFolksthe top 3 big drawers are longer on the 68 than the 84. The 84 is basically a 60. And you would love a power drawer ha

[@akaKyubii]

@@HeyDerFolks power drawer definitely something needed trust

[@branned]

I never buy the non snap-on tools on the truck. They are 2x the cost.

[@HeyDerFolks]

Lesson learned, won’t make that mistake again!

[@branned]

@@HeyDerFolks I did too make that mistake....ONCE. I found that Knipex pliers were 2x Amazon....never again. I like buying from the 4 truck brands but only that main brand name (Snap-on, Cornwell, etc) and not the Bluepoint import brands, etc also.

[@wileycoyote19]

I agree with you, I have purchased multiple manufacturers tools in green. I have a 2015 Matco 4S 2-bay green box and have since filled it with all sorts of green tools. Love the Neon Green 💚!

[@HeyDerFolks]

Right on!

[@scottaddison8071]

You da “SNAP-ON Man”. Great Tools. Congratulations

[@HeyDerFolks]

Thanks, Scott!

[@jefferywalton8176]

I bought a krsc430 roll cart instead of the huge box. Been filling it with all snap on and it's huge to me coming from a 26" craftsman I got in the 90s. See so many huge boxes for sale, nobody seems to want the room they take up. The slide top roll cart was the right choice for my needs and I love it.

[@HeyDerFolks]

Nice! Whatever works for you and your setup is the right buy

[@BellaRocko]

That fireman's nozzle is the best you can buy for home use. And it's lifetime warrantied.

[@HeyDerFolks]

Hell yeah, have already put it to use and been enjoying it. Still can’t get over the build quality compared to the hardware store stuff

[@gtcam723]

I understand the struggle. I really like the hi viz, though I wish it was just a bit brighter.

[@Roger_Icce]

I really like the straight striking pry bars and find myself grabbing the 10" all the time, so I will suggest that and the 12" as your next purchase. The 68"Epiq with a hutch is really nicely sized if you'll be moving it around much.

[@HeyDerFolks]

Straight pry bars definitely on the list, stay tuned! Agreed re; the hutch, thinking I’d throw a computer in there and it’d be pretty sick. Someday soon, hopefully 😅

[@mr.4ambuilds913]

No shot you get a used box from marketplace, it’s ok to get the new one and I’m here for it!!! 😂🍻

[@HeyDerFolks]

Ha, you’re probably right…and that scares me 🤣

[@outdoorarthur3745]

I am a heavy truck mechanic and for most of us guys a 68 epiq is perfect size. Throw a hutch and a locker on and itll hold all we could ever need

[@15buckeye15]

Yes, on the 84” Epic. A video series of you building and buying a custom one or you buying a used one would make for awesome content.

[@HeyDerFolks]

Right on! Will be sure to film the whole proess.

[@WorldIgar]

You should retire that husky stool and upgrade to an American made Vyper Chair!! Would like to see a review on that!

[@HeyDerFolks]

So funny you say that, I have been perusing the Vyper site as of late because I am very much over and done with this $20 Husky tool. It squeaks in the video, is uncomfortable, loose, and when I first assembled it half the bolts were stripped out. The biggest issue I’m having with Vyper is whether or not to go with the big tall boy, or the lower one. Which would you recommend?

[@killerace2014]

Big tall

[@larryharry7221]

Nice score. The pliers are great.The Mayhew prybars are stronger and less expensive. Thanks.

[@HeyDerFolks]

Will checkout the Mayhew stuff as another commenter suggested something similar. Agreed on the pliers, thanks for watching!

[@cwcadventures9987]

I’d argue that. I have the Mayhew dominators. The 25” I’ve had to warranty going on twice now 😂.

[@RhinoAg]

used a big a** pry bar to unload my new 2 56" Series 3 boxes including a top cabinet and locker...112" of box you should look at them. I know you have money as do I and they're a spot I really couldn't see spending the Epiq price. Always love the videos and hope the comments help the channel grow.

[@HeyDerFolks]

Appreciate the comments as always, Rhino! Sounds like you have a sick setup, will look into the combination you mentioned before making a final decision.

[@vince613]

I literally hate this channel…because of jealousy 😂. Nice haul man. Those are some solid pickups

[@HeyDerFolks]

😅 Appreciate your viewership! I’m hoping to do some giveaways in the future, just haven’t worked out all those details as of yet. Hopefully that helps bring more folks along for the ride!

[@313TruckerAl]

You should look into vim tools since you prefer every thing in green

[@HeyDerFolks]

I’ve checked the, out, no orders placed as of yet. Any specific tools you’d recommend? I like the mini ratcheting wrenches they have

[@bulshavix6]

I use my snap on pry bars all the time. I have the old red set and a couple 48” ones. Recently I got the stiletto titanium small pry bar and it’s all I carry in my bag with me anymore. I was able to get rid of the small snap on pry bar and my gasket scraper I use to chop off waterfalls on hot tubs instead of removing the nuts underneath digging through foam. I just buy husky boxes because I don’t really have to worry about locking my stuff up

[@HeyDerFolks]

Hmm, I see the Stiletto Stainless Steel on Amazon, but not a titanium version. Got a link? Would've love to check it out.

[@bulshavix6]

@@HeyDerFolks I got it from fasteners inc.

[@TonyGrenadeF1]

Not the worst addiction you can have. Definitely not cheap though

[@HeyDerFolks]

Ain't that the truth 🤣

[@TheAllens315]

I just bought that fastcap 2 weeks ago on Amazon because it was on sale for 7 bucks lol and I really really like it other than it not auto locking. I do have snappys new magnetic tape measure in metric. It is auto locking. Bought it in metric for adjusting the chain on my motorcycle

[@HeyDerFolks]

For $7 you absolutely cannot go wrong, what a steal!

[@TheAllens315]

@HeyDerFolks right!? I didn't need another tape measure but somehow I happened upon it and loved the built in sharpener and the belt clip design. Plus the spot to write on the front is slicker than pig shit. 😂

[@jcangler88]

As an independent tool dealer, just a heads up, that EZRED bit ratchet has been discontinued. If it breaks you would need the rebuild kit which is almost impossible to get.

[@HeyDerFolks]

Thanks for the heads up! I was thinking about picking up the smaller size one on Amazon, perhaps I should get both sizes to have a backup.

[@muscleteamco]

Nice Haul as always ! If im not mistaken, the made in spain one are a little different green.. ive had the same problem with mine...

[@HeyDerFolks]

Thanks! Im considering buying a color meter so I can do a video just to test handle colors. The variability is crazy

[@MichelleFoti-p9y]

Another great haul!

[@HeyDerFolks]

Thanks!

[@justinvanburen8259]

Another great video!!

[@HeyDerFolks]

Thanks, Justin!

[@yeetymagee961]

Could you do a tool box tour when you get a new one?

[@HeyDerFolks]

Absolutely!

[@beaujacklewellen6524]

Or one now and after

[@fordfan0252]

Great video!!

[@HeyDerFolks]

Thanks!

[@roberthickerty]

Tour... tour.... tour

[@HeyDerFolks]

Soon 😅

[@randysmith9636]

Hey boss, congratulations on the Snap On haul. I have a embarrassing collection of Snap On ratcheting screwdrivers, best on the market IMO. Question, is that a radio on top of the Milwaukee stack? If yes, which model and whats the likes snd dislikes. New subscriber, have a great day brother.

[@HeyDerFolks]

Randy, thank you for the kind words. I agree, Snap On ratcheting screwdrivers are the best! As for the Milwaukee item in question, that is not a radio but rather i've got the M18 Packout light and M18 fan. In my shop I have a Bose bluetooth speaker so i've never experimented with any of the Milwaukee or Snap On audio stuff. Some links to the items in question below: M18 Fan: www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Jobsite-Fan-Tool-Only-0886-20/205846390 M18 Light: www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-PACKOUT-3000-Lumens-LED-Light-with-Built-In-Charger-2357-20/314053726 Bose Speaker: heyderfolks.com/179q Cheers!

[@James-S82]

If you don’t mind me asking: Do you pay retail on the truck? If not, any advice on broaching the topic of a discount with your dealer? I’ve been making some larger purchases and I’m not sure if/when I’d be offered some kind of discount.

[@NiiTroClanx]

Offer cash. Usually, they fold for cash.

[@HeyDerFolks]

I pay retail on the truck, yes. These days I try and step on the truck only once a month so I can peruse the new promos and flier in hopes of finding a deal. In terms of broaching the discussion regarding a discount, I do not yet have any first hand experience to share. What I’d say is that they’re definitely forfeiting some % of their income to CC fees, so if you’re able to offer cash (as another commenter suggested) that _may_ get you a 2-3% discount, equal to the interchange fee. I also wouldn’t be shy about asking for “best price” if/when you have a handful of big items in tow. Lastly, when we talked about me potentially getting into the Epic, I asked about the latest flier which touts “$9,000 in incentives”. Part of the incentives is a discount, and it’s inclusive of all purchases, not just the toolbox. So he showed me on his computer, for example, that if I spent an additional $1,500, I’d be eligible for the next level of incentive which was $900 off. I’m not sure if they run these kind of deals all of the time, but if you’re making the purchase soon I would inquire about the incentives in the May flier.

[@stonedmega1]

Snap on lights are ok but I always find myself grabbing my Maxxeon Cyclops lights over my snap ons. My Matco dealer has them for 32 bucks in multiple colors. In fact I just saw them on my snap on truck last week, didn't bother to ask how much he was charging though.

[@HeyDerFolks]

Added a Maxxeon to my wish list, will consider purchasing one in the future to check out!

[@nickname855]

just fyi any foam set snappy sells you can buy the foam by its self

[@TheAllens315]

Not directly from snap on. They don't sell it yet. That's straight from corporate. But they are planning on selling it by itself. It's just how long?

[@HeyDerFolks]

Interesting, did not know that. On a future on boxing (assuming it gets delivered soon) I did buy the 3 ratchet set in foam, but am returning 2 of the 3 ratchets and just keeping one plus the foam. Dealer was willing to help me out there, so I’m excited about that

[@cesarconh895]

Boy needs to also order a snapon treadmill soon also😂

[@HeyDerFolks]

Hurtful and rude. Rude and hurtful.

[@GaryFoti]

Wow, I bet you stayed up all night thinking of that one.

[@coryohanlan194]

People like you would never say shit to someone in real life bc you’re a big coward, internet has giving too many people a voice to type hurtful stuff

[@TerryDennis-rz8wj]

Stop wasting all your money on snap-on stuff. You can buy other brand named tools at a lot cheaper price that does the same job. SP tools make a good range of toolboxes and again they cost a lot less than snap-on boxes. The money you will save will soon add up to enough for a house deposit.

[@HeyDerFolks]

Terry, thank you for your comment. The Snap On stuff is definitely expensive, but in some cases I find it to be worth it. I don't view the tools from a purely utilitarian point of view, things like; fit, finish, feel, warranty, and where they're manufactured all go into the buying process. I will check out some SP tools stuff, perhaps for a future video.

[@hachi-rokuperformancegroup3987]

Sp tools are overpriced Taiwan tools with USA made pricing. Carlyle, sunex, tekton and many other good brands are better or the same quality for way less. Idk if their air tools are sp air from Japan or if they just use sp tools to seem like a better brand. If you are going to over pay might as well get American made tools and snap on isn't the only American made tool brand just the most expensive

[@akaKyubii]

im autistic as shit when it comes to the colours and agree with you shit needs to be matching otherwise i start tweaking lol I LOVE MY POWER BLUE!

[@HeyDerFolks]

Finally, someone agrees! 🤣
