Default Why are snap-on toolboxes so darn expensive?

Not being a wrench-turner in my day job, plain old Craftsman is 'good
enough' for me. (actually, all my tool boxes at the moment are
plastic, living in a damp world like I do...) Not that I have room or
need for a roll-around anyway.


My experience with craftman is that they are worse of a ripoff than
any brand in
existance. I've had more craftsman tools break than the cheapest crap
I've
bought at k-mart. For the price of a single craftsman socket, I can
buy a whole
set at k-mart and they won't crack or fly part under 50 ft-lbs like the
craftsman sockets will.


Hi,
Craftsman was good when it was made by Singer. FWIW, they still honor
life time warranty after your knuckle get hurts, LOL!


Singer, the sewing machine company?
