When I worked in a : machine shop I'd regularly break tools from the above companies and it : can be a hassle to get replacements. The biggest excuse was always I : don't have that (insert tool here) in a single and I'm not breaking : that set, wait until next week. Well, the guy that used to call on our shop and that my husband dealt with was something special then because he was always right on the spot and if you needed something he would make a detour on his route to get it to you. I suppose that jobbers are like any other customer service rep. Some are good, some bad. : Have you seen the blue titanium coated ratchets that Craftsman is : peddling lately. Very too posh, and almost too pretty to use by the : looks of them. Nope, there are four too chests in the shop now full, surely there isn't a spot to put another thing. Do you think that that big lettering that they are putting on the Craftsman tools nowadays will rub off? And for the record. Hub's tools are all Snap On. My two chests are nearly all Craftsman. I'm just the girl and all that. They all seem to work fine, but his have done some serious work for many years he is a 30 year, professional, heavy duty mechanic. Kate |

Oh please....spare me the indignation. If you had any real contact with
folks that actually USE these tools for a living, there is no way you could make that comment.

Thusly their tools have been more or less unavailable too me. The few snap on tools I have were my grandfather's and they are pretty much speciality type things that won't get much use. (yes I know they started online sales some years ago, tools just aren't something I buy online I guess) So I've always gone to sears or other places for something in particular. I don't like the way sears is headed. I had to have rachets replaced a couple years back, they had other rachets available. I think they may have been remans, like it was a water pump. The adjustable wrench I broke they replaced. Same with a screw driver. Haven't busted or wore out anything recently. |
