I Buy cheap. I’m lose stuff before I break it. Lol
If you buy expensive you won't lose it. A $250 ratchet, $40 extension and a single $50 dollar socket will motivate you to put it back in the tool box. One small drawer full of Snap-On can be an easy $2000 in sockets.
Oh I know...
and they’ve probably spent twice as much after paying interest.
True That.
Ever seen a poor Snap-On dealer? Where he didn't have a separate stone bricked garage for the truck? You can buy Snap-On straight from Snap-On. Order it off their website. I've never noticed a difference in price. Still incredibly, no joke expensive.
I've seen mechanics pay $20-$75 a week to finance the stuff. They never stop paying. If they do pay it off. They buy something else. A lot of guys are tool collectors. Thousands and thousands for stuff they rarely use.
Those pawn dudes need to setup a eBay account. :-)The supposedly top of the line tools. Above Snap-On. Is Proto.
Since I live a rock throw distance away from Fort Hood. The guberment' buys only American. The pawn shops around here have bins full of miscellaneous Proto. SK is also up there.
I have three Proto ratchets. 1/4" and 3/8" drive. Complete socket sets are rough to come by but individual sockets are easy. The average cost of the 1/4" sockets is a dollar. The ratchets, maybe $5.
I don't know if it's on purpose or mistake but the pawn will toss a few 1/4" Snap-On sockets in the loose tool bins. 8mm and 10mm. $1. They never seem to let any Snappy ratchets or 3/8" drive sockets slide. Or wrenches either. They keep those behind glass. Screw Divers too.
