When I see a beautiful piece of antique furniture I know the tools that
went into creating it were crude and far from perfect. It doesn't make
the beauty or quality any less in my eyes, actually I'm quite envious.
The beauty isn't in the tools, it's in the final product...and always
will be. I have a few chest-thumping SNAP-ON apes for friends and their
rants get old fast. They're basically knuckle dragging neanderthals
with an inflated opinion of their true disposable income and alot of
grease under their fingernails. I'd rather get the job done with a tool
I can afford and that can perform the task it is meant for. Whether it
be Craftsman, PC, DeWalt or HF. Being a 'snob' and brow beating others
because you spent 4x more than what a tool is worth is really stupid.


My brother has a decent collection of Snap-On tools. He bought them
from the mentally challenged semi-minimum wage "mechanics" at the car
dealership he used to work for. These folks would regularly go
bankrupt and, just before doing so, sell the Snap-On's for pennies on
the dollar, as long as it was cash. The Snap-On truck would start
selling to these folks shortly after they came out of bankruptcy.
"Hey, buy this $30 screwdriver and just pay $2 per week for the next 2
years". The truck was always there on pay day to collect - and sell
more tools.
