I know everyone here wants this Matco box...
The irony is people who rice out cars don't actually work on them so why would they need tools.

I get discounts at matco tools through school. Those tool boxes are pretty nice but still expensive. Currently there is a yellow one going for like $1400 or something with discount.

Currently all I buy is Craftsman because honestly as much shit as people like to talk about Craftsman I see a ton of Craftsman stuff in a lot of mechanic's boxes. Snap-on is better all around I'm sure but most of their stuff just isn't worth the money. I've never broken a Craftsman socket, I've got bolts stuck in them though but thats not really the sockets fault. I took it back to Sears and got a new one no questions asked. If it was Snap-on I would have to wait a week for the truck to come around work. Screw that.

Or as done at one or a bunch of dealers in the nw. Show up with a pump jockey jacket with your name on it and no one asks any questions. And thats the snap on and matco boys who let it slide.

Yeah same here. For the 2 years we are in school we can get certain amounts of snap-on tools at 50% off.

The only thing that sucks about Craftsman tools I think is that, depending on which tool, if you break it and replace it at sears, they give you a refurbished tool back. My friend had a broken ratchet replaced and he ended up getting an old school Craftsman ratchet back. I know with Snap-on they just replace the tool.
