Extremely young (and/or financially illiterate) technicians making poor life choices. The only reason to go on a tool truck these days is either for an extremely specific item that will prevent making more work for yourself, enable actual time saving (see more work), or increase efficiency (again, see more work). Anything else is because you need the tool this literal second and if they don't have it right fricking now don't bother ordering it, I can have it at my front door tomorrow from Amazon if I have no other options. I'm not knocking most of snap-on's stuff, I own and regularly use several thousand dollars of specialty line wrenches, taps, and crows feet on systems where fricking up can easily cause 10k+ in extra repairs and potentially weeks in downtime. It's fricking stupid to pay 20k for something to roll your tools around in, it's fricking stupid to pay 80-90 ea for a box end wrench unless it falls under one of the three criteria, and it's fricking stupid to pay their markup on anything that isn't their brand.
>snap-on taps >paying the same money if not more for shitty taps
Never buy taps or dies that aren't from a proper, machining brand, there's sincerely a world of difference. They'll last longer, cut easier, and if you go through an actual distributor, probably half what snap-on charges.
Stuff like this, if it’s not general wrenches and sockets and probably pliers, it’s almost always made by another company for Snap On. Same is true for Mac and Matco. It’s worth doing a quick Google search since you can probably find the same exact item for 30%-50% less since you’re not paying for Jr. Tech’s $17k toolbox he got on credit and never paid for.
>cutting taps
those are just garden variety, straight flute hand taps. shit compared to an sprial point gun tap that actually cuts and pushes the chips rather than balling the swarf up in the flutes and binding itself in the hole. look at the cutting edge of a osg or emuge tap under a magnifying glass versus a greenfield/snappy tap. the quality cut tap will be orders of magnitude sharper.
the only reason snappy branded taps exist are for ham fisted grease monkeys that rattle them in holes with the impact to get free replacements when they bust them off. anything more refined than cleaning out manifold bolt holes or tapping for license plate screws is better done with a quality cut tap

Snappy is def better than HF, but ridiculously overpriced for a mild increase in quality over tools 1/4 the price. If you get a big student discount, it might be worth getting down on some of the main tools from Snappy. Maybe you get a full wrench set and your basic sockets, you will be using that stuff daily for decades. But the 1” drive stuff and specialty bent pliers that see use once every 6mos, There are alternatives like

one of the best kept tool secrets out there. i've switched to buying all williams usa for my duplicate sets because snappy has gone off the rails on pricing. i can live without the bulky magnetic tray to save over half on the same sockets new
for about half the price of Snappy that are just as good.
Also don’t go into mad debt before you start making money. Also you should find out if your workplace has a good Snap On rep. A big chunk of the premium price is for the service of the truck guy. If he’s a sheisty and only shows up once every 2 months, but you have a really good Matco guy, then it will suck if you have all Snap On and can’t get anything warrantied on time.
It's like an ice-cream truck for grownups.
If, said icecream trucks travelled around to schools and allowed kids to open up tabs, putting themselves thousands of dollars into debt.
My buddy drives one of these and makes close to 200k a year. says most of his job is just tracking down Black folk that buy a 30k tool box then quit making payments. He gets to keep all the tools in the boxes he repos too
Nah he just goes to the shops and loads it up in his truck and takes it lol never beat anyone up. Has been threatened and had guns pulled on him before tho. And as far as damage I don’t think snap on really cares as long as they get the shit back
Agreed recently I’ve been taking everything in my toolbox home less to worry about
The problem with tool trucks is that 99% of the guys go on there and buy stupid shit, electric heard snap on jackets, snap-on knives, snap-on hats, pocket screwdrivers, mini-joke tool boxes , several rechargeable magnet lights, ninja sword, nerf guns, rc cars, snap-on branded hand cleaner and snap-on gloves , snap-on power tools
Get six point 3/8” drive chrome sockets in metric and sae, get a dual 80 ratchet in flex head and NOT a soft grip. The soft grip is something the tool truck openers push so that if it ever wears a hole in it they can claim that you used a cheater pipe on it and deny warranty
So always get the metal grip, plus it doesn’t get nasty
You need to think like 10 steps ahead of the idiots in your trade
No blue tooth speakers and no $35,000 tool boxes even if it’s used in the truck and the snap on guy says it’s “worth” a lot more
Big tool boxes aren’t worth anything you have to get a truck or tow truck to move them around fully loaded
And having a big ass tool
Box at work has your ex employer trying to steal your box/tools if you quit or get fired
Just don’t frick with the tool boxes
A new trend that I personally like that’s coming out are the new SK pack out tool boxes
The top
And bottom are plastic packout interlocking but the body and drawers are metal standard tool box
Meaning you can wheel this thing in and out of the workplace
Which is what I would do
You don’t want to be in a position that you’re at the mercy of an ex employer to retrieve several hundred thousand dollars in tools
They probably sell the debt off to a collection agency for like 10% or 20% the amount they’re owed if they can’t get it back within a couple months or it’s too damaged.

He was discussing fricking ur mum, so "meating' is appropriate despite the overly kind intellectual evaluation.
Boxes are usually financed through snapon credit and not off of the truck line of credit (if you get one big enough). Truck line is zero percent, snapon is ungodly even with perfect credit. My last box was $27k. Damn near perfect credit and I want to say I was over 8%, don't want to lie, but I know it was at least that. It is the loan holder's responsibility to establish reclaiming the box. The dealer/driver just drives the truck to pick it up if it is a repo, most times have it sold before even picking up.
I’m a snap-on fanboy down to the point where I have a bahco in my box and have caterpillar tools along side them
But I don’t see any point in having a snap-on box
It’s a big “steal me” billboard
I keep everything in a husky box with those JDM learning permit/elder driver magnetic stickers you put on your car in Japan on it from my many trips to japan

Though, i don't recall ever regretting a tool purchase, unless it was something i broke. Maybe massively overpaying for something would change my mind about that, but its not like its buying useless shit like videogames, trading cards, or god forbid, funko pops.
The only thing I've ever bought from a snapon truck was a $300 set of bolt extractors to remove a lug bolt that was durka durkaed onto my car the day before by the morons at the local mechanic. They didn't work and I ended up having to drill it out.
I wouldn't worry about it

From some light google, it seems like they get taps and related from Irwin which are garbage compared to a real, machinist's tap.
The taps on the snap-on truck aren’t cutting taps they’re thread chasers
They have actual cutting taps too, you moron.
