    Best of luck to him. Sounds like he got a pretty good deal. I'm retired now but when I was an apprentice the guys I worked with used to buy me some tools each month to help set me up. I still have them and my toolboxes now.

    Teak and his friend buying 3/8" and 1/4" torque wrench sets and then swapping each other so they both have one of each is genius! Good on him for taking advantage of deals and managing his gear. I still like pneumatic tools myself. Nothing better than an air hammer or an air saw when you need one.

    Snap on line wrenches are the best on the market. They are thick, heavy and do not flex or spread. My sets are around 45 years old and have never let me down.
    Thanks for the video brother. I am enjoying your tool box tours. My first video was the man with the tank setting in the shop.
    Edit to add: Matco, while it is rebranded tools, they do have many tools built to their specs. Some are only available through a Matco dealer. I have a few Matco tools that are not available anywhere else. The Mac RBRT was only available through the Mac dealer, although they didn't make them. Now that the Mac contract has expired Grip edge (original manufacturer) is offering them under their name.

    I like how he mentioned the actual price he paid for some of his tools. Mentioned he only paid 1300 bucks for his larger tool chest after scholarships and such. That's awesome. I feel like its almost an unwritten rule with technicians that you're not supposed to mention prices since the Snap On truck guy gives better deals to regulars vs non regulars, which I think if you're spending regularly, you should get a bit of a perk

Now a days it gets used for hub caps and air to air hose clamps and now and then some door screws. The cool thing with the speed wrench is the ability to feel torque. Mine is over 50 years old, still the same as the new ones.

      The student program is extremely good. You can get the snap on set for almost the same price as Carlyle on it. Probably not as good but still it’s like half price

      @drew5992 its just the same as any other brand except it says snap on. How often do you actually break a tool you're using? Should be almost never unless you're using it correctly. Nowadays most brands have a lifetime warranty anyway. There's is no reason to buy snap on. It's like when broke people go out and buy Gucci

    It is painful watching all of these and seeing how many people are out there just getting HOUSED by the snap on truck. I'm sorry your skilled trade makes you guys pay tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

      Its only a problem if you buy new not on promo off truck. If your smart you can pretty easily break even if not profit selling them later.
