not 100% true

i would never use a torq wrench from them, but there is a lot of stuff from them that is good

those little 212cc predator motors are great for gokarts

you srs bro? Cuz that's a wrong statement

I mean, don't get me wrong like 95% of all my tools are from snap on, Mac, and cornwell

But I do have some hf stuff that honestly isn't to bad, and def not bad enough to justify buying a snap on version of it

That's just from my personal experience. I bought a few tools and they ended up being 1 time use lol

I don't mind spending the extra money for tools that last forever.

well like at work I think the only HF tools I have is a chisel set

HF cost 10 dollar snap on for the same size was 299 I think

The snap on my be better BUT is it 289 dollars better? For a piece of metal to push another piece of metal being hit by a piece of metal? Lol

I agree. Snap On tools are way overpriced. I don't buy anything THAT expensive lol

We use their sawzalls exclusively

There are some low quality tools, but the 30$ saw lasts longer then snap on saw, we purchased,destroyed, repaired, destroyed and then returned snap ons

We typically get 6months out of their 30$ saw vs snap ons 300?

We keep 10 on hand, because.... why the fuck not

Just run electrical tape over then fins so they dont get metal in them and eat themselves up

nothing lasts forever. snap-on stuff breaks too. its how lenient your vendor is that matters.
