Snap on VS Mac

Snap-on FTW
I love my box

buy the big dog kobalt box from lowe's. for the money cant go wrong and i always thought it would be cool to have a fridge and cd player in my toolbox also has some led lights on the hood. snap on and mac are out of their mind when it comes to prices. but the guy who can afford it usually has the best of everything.. so yeah, i say go with what you can afford. btw i own a mac box so i vote for mac.

I wouldn't personally get that if I was working at a dealership though. Might get made fun of. Even though it would be badass to have a fridge. I don't even know why someone would make fun of you for that?

right, thats what i did, but now snap on has a limit of 7500 for the program, so you can get 15,000 worth of tolls for 7500, ant its called the student excellence program

I've got the stainless Kobalt that is slightly smaller than the fridge box and I am very pleased with it. I would have gotten the bigger one with the fridge, but it wasn't out yet when I got mine.

Heres mine:

nti06 · 11-03-2009, 12:09 AM

^^^^^^ I have the same, only in black. I got it the same way droppeddime08 got his too.

Did you get the CT4850HO impact too?

Droppedime08 · 11-03-2009, 12:17 AM

Yep!!

01cherryreds10 · 11-03-2009, 12:27 AM

How much was that boc if you don't mind me asking? I'm doing a school program too and it ends soon so maybe this winter I'll save up working full time and get it right when I graduate.

Droppedime08 · 11-03-2009, 12:43 AM

Think i paid just over $2,100

01cherryreds10 · 11-03-2009, 12:58 AM

Not bad at all did they throw in any tools like a dealer on the truck would or no?

Droppedime08 · 11-03-2009, 01:10 AM

yea $400 worth of tools.

***What?*** · 11-03-2009, 02:17 AM

I'll take pic of what I have but 1 thing for sure its never enough toolboxes

I didn't spend more than $550 on Matco(1) and Craftsman(3), tools in each of my drawer alone is worth than all toolboxes I own. It's easier to focus on tools than toolbox, as long it moves, stores well, useable to your liking.

I don't take care of my tool box, I crushed, crash, spilt chemicals(inside and out), works fine as day 1 on both Matco and Craftsman.

However, I'm not gonna buy new ones anymore, I'll buy it used from craigslist, local forums since I see a lot good ones for 1/4 of the cost of new with similar condition.

So why spend one that's retail of 10G and they say you can get it for 5G if you pay cash when you can get 1 for 1G with some tools?

Tool trucks are great for needing certain tool/s if you happen to need one that day and they have it, or something you've been wanting for while otherwise I'm hitting up craigslist/eBay and getting it much cheaper

nti06 · 11-03-2009, 04:13 AM

did anybody know that your snapon dealer is suppose to move your snapon toolbox for you if you go to work at another shop within his territory.

rv34 · 11-03-2009, 01:12 PM

you can see my box wayyy back in the corner of my shop..

..and sorry for the shitty cell phone pic

sixfeathers · 11-03-2009, 01:14 PM

IN the last three moths I have Snapped three extensions and one 1/2 drive socket from Snap on. They have really cut down on the quality of steel they use, but their prices don't reflect it.

scott9001 · 11-03-2009, 02:09 PM

the blue box jsut up of this post is the one the snap on dealer says i should go to, it will cost me 1800 bucks and he will give me 1800 for the box i got. (canadian prices) so its really like a 3600 dollar box i think thtas right

pack of q tips · 11-03-2009, 02:22 PM

my box was 4500
