Snap-on tools really are beautiful....

[moronmountain]

So I bought my first Snappy stuff recently, and I got say.....
They are so nice that I don't want to use them almost heh. I got a GS80, F80, 3/8 drive SAE deep, 3/8 metric deep and shallow, wrenches 1/4-1 1/4 all for about $700. The wifey got a tad annoyed at me, but she knew I was doing it ahead of time. Most of them are either unused and/or mint.

Send them my way and I'd be more than happy to use them for you!

I'll get right on that.

[Goinlow]

Yeah another tech was saying that he finally finished his snap on wrench set 8-30mm. He said he never uses them and uses his craftsman so they don't get scratched. I was like, why'd you buy them then?

[wreckercologist]

Yeah, they're great and all, but I spent a lot of money on them so I could earn a living..........I use 'em and they show it. I intend to get every last cent I paid back out of them.

Tell her unless she wants to get whacked with that F80 she'll smile and compliment the tools, or else............

Screw that, buy'em to use them. I could care less if they get scratched

I have a very good paying job, I have no wife, I have money to pixx away on shiny Snap On tools I dont need or use to make a living with.

Maybe your wife has reason to be annoyed.

Given all the other responsible things that most married men need to spend/save money for............it makes a good argument for buying CRAFTSMAN, GEARWRENCH, TOPTUL, GENIUS or many other brands new or used........

Gosh she wasn't really that annoyed, she just thinks the whole thing is silly. I can easily afford the tools I got. I have a box full of Caftsman and Gearwrench as well. I guess I won't share in my excitement...

I'll use 'em. I think I have the shiny new car syndrome currently is all. I was mostly just complimenting Snap-on on making such beautiful tools.

This post was entirely unnecessary. Who are you to comment on someone else's financial situation? You should keep things like this to yourself.

[speed bump]

Only tools that I own that I think are to beautiful to use are Plomb pebble finish tools and thats only because I about 13 wrenches lined up in front of those to use.

Mr Wright, My comments were made as a generic opinion as to those people who buy tools at the expense of more important things to their families and their own well being.........

I'll remove my post now........

Snap-On tools are beautiful, I fully agree. I recently bought my first new SO ratchet, an S80. When it arrived (bought it online) I left it on my desk for a few days, thinking "How can I use it, it'll get scratched?"

Silly I know, but hey, I appreciate nice things. Then it was time to change the fuel filter on my Cummins. It has not a lot of room to swing a big arc ratchet, and the S80 loosened it like a hot knife through butter, just a steady gentle movement. Ahhhhhh, nice. I even got diesel on it.

Congrats on a beautiful, and useful set of lifetime tools.

[Goinlow]

Yeah I use my snap on sockets, wrenches etc all the time. Like someone else said these make me money so why should I now use them??

I just recently bought a used set of SO stubby wrenches they were very good condition but had a few scratches. I am glad because that first scratch is always the hardest.

I have a brand new extension that I really dont want to get scratched either!

Yeah I think I may be getting an older 70's Dodge w200 4x4 to restore soon, and I can't WAIT to make that first turn! I've never been so excited about tools before. I must be getting old lol!

Do yourself a favor and use it. You'll love using it more than looking at it.

Don't worry bro, I didn't spend money I didn't need for something else. I don't smoke, drink or play golf, so I guess this is my replacement for that.
