was a snap on dealer for 12 years. Great tools but as a company they are a bunch of ****ing thieves!!

Snap on has the most precise sizing, I've checked with a mic. They are also priced so high you can buy several sets of other brands and spend less. $325 for 1/2" deep impacts is a tad bit pricey. I have Mac, Snappy, some Matco. Wound up with a Mac box (love it, hutch is nicer than snappys) because the matco man was too cool to spend time with me or competing on price, snap on man wanted to sell me a smaller box for $1500 more. Mac gave me a good deal. I think box quality is about the same for all 3. They all have a cheaper and a best line of boxes.

The reason for all the EX tool guys is the companies make it to easy to start up. Once they sell you the initial inventory, and you spend all the money you have, they don't care about you.

Its just like ANY other business. It takes MONEY to make money. When you finance your business you are really not making anything, just paying the bank. Live in your moms basement for 5+ years, scape by, be one of the best in whatever business, and then you might make it.

Matco, Cornwell, Mac, Snap on all make a good tool. The service is what makes the difference. Most opioions on here really have to do with how good of service they are getting not really which box or tool brand it is. You will tend to overlook a problem if the dealer is taking care of you.

Good choice. But make sure you have enough money and not bank loans. It takes money to make money.

If I did it again I would go with cornwell (with out a franchise loan from them) but most my inventory would be independent tools except hardline. Then you have the best of both worlds.
