snap on wratchet wrenches beat the snot out of my manual hand wrenches. also, snap on electric impacts beat my...breaker bars. lol. i have air impacts but havent had time to hook up my 80gallon air compressor so i've been building my s10 by hand. air tools make life easy. i have a great set of tools and love my proto stuff, but he has a few things that i would love to have.

I've got a Classic 96 chock full of Snap-On and Matco tools. If you make your living with them it's worth getting the good ****... Especially if you're flat rate.

Now that I drive a service truck I've phased most of my Snappy tools back into my box and replaced all of them with less expensive Matco tools for truck use since they get beat up on pretty hard just going down the road.

yup, i personally have matco, mac, cornwell and snap on tools and they all take a beating pretty good. The new mac ratchets in this thread are my new favorites even compared to that big 1/2 88 tooth snap on ratchet. But cant say anything bad on any of the brands of tools i got cause ive had good luck with them. And this shop im at is hourly but im looking into going to work for Freightliner in a few months and really start making money.

Yeah it ain't bad. I probably have more money invested but 10k seems about right. I got the box one ratchet and the impacts all half off so that saved me a lot of money lol. Any pics of your setup?

Damn now that's a box! I'm thinking about ordering a Matco roll around. He has one for a grand and it's perfect for what I need it.
