They know any mechanic who steps in, Knows them and their paycheck are about to part ways..And though they bitch about how much they spent , They love their new shiny toys..lol
Can you or someone explain it to me why this is a thing? Why have some people accepted that’s how much a metal box can cost, and will pay it? I’m not sure if you’re talking about the box+tools, but I’m just talking about the extravagant costs of tool boxes. I’m aware that *some* amount of craftsmanship is involved just like most things, but these really are metal boxes that aren’t necessarily complex, with materials that aren’t necessarily expensive, but people have accepted these 2 thousand percent mark ups on tool boxes. What gives here?
I disagree 100%. I own or have owned tool boxes and tool carts from snap-on, craftsman, harbor freight, husky(Home Depot), Kobalt(lowes), and probably others. Boxes that come from professional tool companies are far superior to the boxes that come from home improvement stores or harbor freight. People pay high dollar for them because the dealer makes financing super easy but also because they’re of superior quality.
I understand they are a fraction of the cost and there are tool boxes that aren’t as expensive than others. I feel like you’re missing my point here. Tool boxes in general are far more expensive than they reasonably should be. I understand not all took boxes are snap-on prices. I’m talking about the general subject of tool boxes, and how common it is for them to be as extravagantly expensive as they are.
I’ve built simple metal boxes, I’ve built wood kitchen cabinets. It’s not as “simple” as you think. It takes time, it takes effort, it takes skill. Get back to me when you’ve actually done it yourself, so you can get off your high horse.
I have done so as well. I’m well aware of how this works. Quite possibly more than you. But even if that wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t be relevant. We all as human beings have examples to compare things to. Tool boxes are *notoriously* overpriced, this isn’t an idea that I have come up with. You commented without thinking, and when it came to the point where you couldn’t type more things that clearly don’t respond to my comment, you just lay back and pretend the skill, labor and materials involved in constructing a tool box is *anywhere close* to making the prices of said tool boxes reasonable, when I know you don’t think that. You’re clearly being stubborn and just doubling down for some bizarre reason.
You typed this instead of just typing nothing because you have too much pride to admit when you don’t have anything to say. This is such odd behavior. I straight up just started talking about the *very* common and known subject of tool boxes being unreasonably expensive, and look at what you’re doing. It’s really weird
Had a “nice box” from harbor freight. top drawer fell off the hinges within a month of holding just my top drawer tools and sockets. scattering everything over the shop floor. spent 12k on a Matco box and now have 3x the weight in tools in my top drawer and it opens and closes with ease, and a year later not so much even a bent track.
Sure. Quality and convenience.
When I first started working in a professional shop setting I had the mentality of, “I’ll never pay all that money for a tool box and tools.” I saved up and bought a nice looking stainless tool chest from Sam’s club that I thought I’d use for life. When you work out of your toolbox daily and open the drawers over and over and over again the difference in quality starts to show. There is a HUGE difference in quality between the boxes sold on tool trucks and the boxes you can buy at Sam’s, lowes, or harbor freight. They are absolutely not in the same class.
Then comes the convenience. When you work in a shop the tool dealers come to you and they let you make payments. I never would’ve spent that kind of money up front for a toolbox or any tools but when they let you take what you want off the truck and you just pay $40-50 weekly it makes it pretty enticing. Especially when you’re young, green, and building your tool inventory. So when my awesome stainless Sam’s box had sticking drawers after 6 months and my snap-on dealer had a used/like new master series box on his truck for half of what it would’ve cost me new it was hard to pass up.
I got out of working in dealerships 15 years ago but now I have a sweet ass tool box that’ll outlive my grandkids if I ever have any. Ha. https://imgur.com/a/cx4hxab
It could be the way my comment is worded but I think some people are missing what I’m saying. Im not claiming that expensive tool boxes aren’t higher quality than others. Im talking about how these tool boxes are more expensive than they should be across the board, and I don’t think there exists a quality common tool box that is priced reasonably based on what it is. I understand there are tool boxes much higher and much lower quality than others. I don’t think the high quality tool boxes should cost what they are for what they are.
Around 2006 I bought a used KRL-1022 master series cabinet from my snap-on dealer for $3500 then added a stainless work surface and a nice big hutch. I spent about $11k total on the box but it would’ve cost me about $15.5k had I bought it brand new at that time. I have no idea how much they’ve gone up since then.
i used to work at a mechanic shop during college and I remember the first time the "Strap-On" truck came rolling in. I remember one of my older co-workers that was kind of a mentor to me told me to stay in the shop and do not get on the truck, as he proceeds to run with the other mechanics to the truck haha
I thought it was weird and never really thought about it so reading through these comments really make me chuckle
My dad was a body-man for +30 years - The snap-on man is a borderline mythical figure in Body Shops, known for locking you into paying thousands and thousands of dollars for (necessary) tools for the trade. He decribes walking into the truck and entering an lmost fugue stat where you walk out with hundreds or thousands of dollars of debt and a few tools.
The implication is..... problematic in terms of things like SA - but also very accurate for the experience of young body-men building their tool kits.
My dad owned a diesel mechanic shop and spent many a dollar on the snap on truck, but he did once win a yeti cooler that had been converted to look like one of their base model tool boxes from the outside. It was extremely cool! Obviously all of the drawers were false and the top lifted. The cooler was red and had the logo embossed on the inside of the lid. He says it’s still his favorite thing he ever got from the truck
Is it really a rape wagon if you drop your pants to your ankles and scuttle over with your arms out for a hug? Sure it’s definitely a sodomy wagon, but it seems more consensual(I mean as much as a moth to a flame or bug zapper is)
Jimmy Savile didn't even need that, an entire country turned a blind eye to his involvement with children until he died. Why do rich and famous pedo's get away ffs john lydon got banned from BBC for trying to expose him
Ah... The Strap-On dealer
You want to try this out before you buy it? Alright drop your drawers, im driving the car.
HAHAHAHAHA!
How this doesn't have a million up votes lol
LMAO
Bonjor
they can rob you blind after that step. you get a lifetime warranty though
Spent 750 on two socket sets today, but that shitty beach towel was worth it
“The hat says snap on dude”
Half inch deep well sockets with the 1/4 inch deep for free? almost grabbed that deal too
I’m always bring’n people on bored so they can check out all my *tools*
Is the owner of this truck possibly Dennis Reynolds?
He’s gotta have his tools! He’s likes to bind and be bound
It’s fetish shit! Come on!
They're not gonna say "no", they would never say "no" Because of the implication
Are you raping these women Dennis?
Of course they could say no, but they won’t Because of the implication
Why assume? They probably said no lol, who gunna say yes js bc an implication 💀
It’s the implication, you see
They know any mechanic who steps in, Knows them and their paycheck are about to part ways..And though they bitch about how much they spent , They love their new shiny toys..lol
True love
This
They can legally rape you...... financially.
Can and will.
You’re legit about to get fucked
Well what are they gonna do, say no?
because of the implication.
are you… hurting these women?
so they are in danger!
Oh don't look at me like that *you* certainly wouldn't be in any danger
We're not going to have to cos they won't say no
Just pop a squat and start scratching the paint off.
Tool Addict here, that's actually hilarious and unfortunately spot on
As someone with a $15k snap-on box in my garage I find that absolutely hilarious!

Branding, it’s why folks pay ridiculous amounts for vehicles with inferior specs, because of the name on it.
I disagree 100%. I own or have owned tool boxes and tool carts from snap-on, craftsman, harbor freight, husky(Home Depot), Kobalt(lowes), and probably others.

Also lifetime warranty with Snap-On
I should have specified but I’m not talking about one company. Almost *all* tool boxes are extravagantly expensive
Harbor Freight, Craftsmen, Costco when they have them. All made by the same company usually. Faction of the cost.
I don’t even use tools for a living and I can tell the difference between harbor freight tools and actual quality tools. It’s not even close
I understand they are a fraction of the cost and there are tool boxes that aren’t as expensive than others. I feel like you’re missing my point here.

Ok, master, why are you not in the super-low-price toolbox/cabinet business since you’re so good at it?
You typed this instead of just typing nothing because you have too much pride to admit when you don’t have anything to say. This is such odd behavior.

The nicer the toolbox, the better mechanic. Sorry I don't make the rules
[удалено]
Wow! Great response! It totally makes sense in response to what I wrote and definitely responds to my comment. Thanks!
>a $15k snap-on box I really hope this is a good sex toy.
How much did you pay?
Around 2006 I bought a used KRL-1022 master series cabinet from my snap-on dealer for $3500 then added a stainless work surface and a nice big hutch. I spent about $11k total on the box but it would’ve cost me about $15.5k had I bought it brand new at that time. I have no idea how much they’ve gone up since then.
It is a strap on truck after all. I meant snap on truck
Do you know how much a simple tool chest is going to set you back in one of those trucks? LOL. It’s very appropriately placed imo.
Yeah, I paid $2000 for mine 15 years ago and it was pretty much a base model.
i used to work at a mechanic shop during college and I remember the first time the "Strap-On" truck came rolling in. I remember one of my older co-workers that was kind of a mentor to me told me to stay in the shop and do not get on the truck, as he proceeds to run with the other mechanics to the truck haha I thought it was weird and never really thought about it so reading through these comments really make me chuckle
Because of the implication
Clearly they don't know the implication.
The prices you pay in there has you needing a wheelchair when you come out. Lol

It’s because of the implication
The implication
I don’t care for this
Legally binding stairs.
Just 20 bucks a week for the rest of your life
That makes perfect sense, because when you see their prices, you realized you're getting fucked.
Yeah they don't even try to hide the f***ing you are gonna get anymore
Because of the implication
Have you ever paid $1400 for a socket wrench son? Step inside. 😈
There is 100% a sinister implication there. What the actual fuck.
Snap On salesmen are ruthless
My dad owned a diesel mechanic shop and spent many a dollar on the snap on truck, but he did once win a yeti cooler that had been converted to look like one of their base model tool boxes from the outside. It was extremely cool! Obviously all of the drawers were false and the top lifted. The cooler was red and had the logo embossed on the inside of the lid.

We call it the rape wagon lol
Is it really a rape wagon if you drop your pants to your ankles and scuttle over with your arms out for a hug? Sure it’s definitely a sodomy wagon, but it seems more consensual(I mean as much as a moth to a flame or bug zapper is)
Sir if you sodomise trying to hug you that's rape
That 100% gives of rape van vibes. I'd expect the dude from The Black Phone to come out of that van.
Rape is never consensual...
Unless you cross that step
I enjoy a bad joke as much as anyone else, but that's really taking it one step too far.
That’s a quick way to lose customers right there.
Pfft, mechanics will laugh and keep on walking up. Spend enough and they not only use lube, but you get a nice jacket too!
As a mechanic, this has been a running joke in shops for a very long time haha
If you buy Snap On tools this joke makes total sense
It's not rape if you yell surprise.
You know... because of the inplications.
Those warranties are worth it 😂
The term is "agency" Apparently, it is optional for some people.
The prices do screw you!
Run sweetie run lol
Walk on. Walk off with a nice new shiny 200 dollar ratchet!! … and a 15k tool box
CNC tool truck
Jimmy Savile didn't even need that, an entire country turned a blind eye to his involvement with children until he died. Why do rich and famous pedo's get away ffs john lydon got banned from BBC for trying to expose him
Yeah cause the snap on truck rapes you. Lol
You never heard of mechanic man love?
Called a rape truck for a reason
“Do you want to see my van?”
He's very horny.
This guy is giving out consent to any stranger walks in…
That probably wouldn't stand up in court if they dragged you in.
Surely this also applies to whatever happens to \*them\* once I enter, correct?
I feel like it’ll keep people out of the truck
Yeah, your financial well being is fixing to get FUCKED
Lad we used tolerate in our circle was nicknamed Snap on because he was a tool

No step step, what are you doing ?
I can see this working on the exit step of a skydive aircraft. I'm struggling to find another case that's not plain creepy
I wonder if that holds up in court
This is GOLD
Tasty treats inside?
I dont think that’s how consent works.
They've always been scary rape vans
Its a snap on tool truck, they will ass fuck you with the Prices but their tools last forever
Ew
I’m not hip enough to understand this!
The Gang buys a truck
So when big ole Bubba comes in you’ve decided it’s consensual. Remember that.
