SNAP-ON Tools For 1/2 price Dealers are FURIOUS!😠 

I really have liked my blue point ratcheting wrenches

Ditto. My blue point ratchet wrenches have been great!

@@JwatDtr I have an ICON from Harbor Freight made in the same factory.

@@bryanx590 I bet you love it the same as I love mine!

That's a great idea!

Glad to help

Bingo!!

Not all Snap-On tools are made in USA and even more aren't even made in the USA

Thanks for sharing

Yes it is 100% true

Very true

Yep, this isn't a new thing for sure. These young people don't understand things, lol

Glad it was helpful!

Exactly lol

Thanks for the info

Let's not get carried away lol

@@samuelgraber6921 In the garage where mechanics sweat, With wrenches turning, gears they set, There lurks a tool, all chrome and bold, The Snap-on gear, so I am told. Its price is high, its name divine, But does it really tow the line? For when you need a simple task, It snaps in half, or doesn’t ask. Oh Snap-on tool, you golden brand, Are you worth the dough in hand? With sockets shiny, ratchets grand, Yet break when gripped in greasy hand. So here’s to you, dear Snap-on gear, The budget laughs, the pros sneer. For in the end, with rusty clank, A cheaper wrench can fill the tank!

Also, i wish snapon would have a buy it now, cash price, and then a regular retail price for people who finance, but of course that would never happen...😂😂😂

I agree!

It's a app you have to download

@@CPthetooladdict what app

Just download the cat Hand tools and shop supplies catalogue

Not since the 90s I think john deere has completely flopped to the other side of the pond now also. The rebrand their own tractors now lol

Not anymore they don't. They're going through Stanley Black & Decker now.

Exactly supposedly they are all stirred up about something they singed up for long before most of them were dealers lol

I believe it's very possible they knew but it wasn't widespread info for a long time. Lately it seems to come up more and more online, as a way to get Snap-on stuff for much cheaper and without either having to chase a truck or bite the full list price if you're not working a place a truck comes to, and for those who are already serviced by a truck, a way to save money. Lots of money. The truck model is predicated on "these are only available through us" with some of the companies also doing online sales but expecting full list, which would push folks more toward the trucks. Now the word is getting spread more that the exclusivity isn't entirely true, and at least has the potential to interrupt the dealer's bottom line when folks pick a different middleman now that they know of that middleman. The territory exclusivity goes out the window, the tool exclusivity pitch goes out the window.

Hey, thanks. I'm doing much better getting the train back on the tracks!

This is 100% a true statement, same here. I totally get it, and great comment!

Haha same at mine! Try my best to submitt through SIS and have the parts delivered. Top 3 dumbest person Ive ever met.

Mustang Cat in Houston is lousy to deal with. Seems everything is a hassle when dealing with them

It wouldnt suprise me if that ends up being the case

Doubtful just , salty dealers in fanboys getting their panties in a ruffle Snap-on still making good profit margins on these tools they're just mad because they're not selling for huge markups like they are

Caterpillar is soo much bigger along with all there subsidiary companies that would be a big loss for snap on

Some maybe but Essentially williams is owned by snap-on, so it's technically all snap-on

Thanks, you too!

There all in there dealer tool catalog

On the box?

That's a great idea!

I can say this. There is no paper catalog. I tried to get one and was told its all online and dealer only

Yes, they do they have done this for several manufacturers over the years.

Thank you!!

I believe you sent me an email, and we discussed this before, am I right?

Yes you are sir

Some are williams some are snap or rebranded.. Larger ones tend to be williams

And John deere once upon a time

Thanks man appreciate it

Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks, will do!

Thank you very much!

Thats false

No, have to take them back to CAT

You don’t watch the video do you?

@@sydneykillian3685 LOL

Vals widely disliked among snap-on dealers because she's eye candy that's all she's doing is playing other dumb men.

Thanks for the visit

Yes

Check the part number 233-1639. You must have been looking at the wrong site.

It’s cat’s website and the pic is totally different. They must have changed them or are rebranding some other brand

That's because the pictures aren't updated. The part number is the picture I showed with the first set. Just as I said, it is a tricky thing that it's complicated to navigate. That's why I warned people about it.

Alright I see 👍

Much appreciated

Right lol

Unpopular opinion: perhaps they're all manufactured as first quality, and they don't cost even nearly as much as what they're gonna charge you. Snap-on is posting Apple-like margins and throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at shareholders annually. Their bottom line is consistently over double what is considered a "normal and healthy" margin for a corporation. And they're making that money selling to dealers, already ripping them off. Now the dealers have to make their expenses (including getting scalped on their inventory) plus whatever they consider a livable salary off of us. Snap-on themselves have posted a decent bit of videos and such showing their processes and we can eke a little more info from that. For example, taking a shine to automation. Each cold-forming socket machine can make a socket that's already over halfway finished (turned from coil fed in to an unbranded socket that already has the square and hex formed in them), and it averages a socket produced per *second* while simultaneously cutting American jobs out of the equation. Their cold-formed pliers also have automation involved, with the "forging" being automatic. Blank goes in, pliers halves that have already been roughed blocked finished and trimmed come out. That's the job of 2 operators gone, saving money, without passing the savings on. They're a business, not a charity, and they exist to make profit sure. That's reasonable. But my gosh you should listen to the recording or read the transcripts of quarterly shareholder conference calls. The CEO talks money a lot of course but does seem to have at least a bit of passion about what they're making. Then the shareholders, a lot of big faceless investment firms, get to ask questions. Money. Money. Money money money money money. No passion whatsoever for the product. And the shareholders are the ones who actually OWN the company, so no matter how much passion their C-suite has for the products, they have to ultimately satisfy their owners. Snap-on wants up to a list of $40 for a replacement hard handle. Obviously the dealer isn't gonna charge you that, but that's crazy money. It's injection-molded plastic with a stamping, you know how much that costs to make? Less than a dollar. Or let's take a screwdriver. $30 for Snap-on, $10-11 for Mayhew, $10 for Klein, $5 for Tekton. All made in USA, Tekton even also has the extra overmold step like Instincts do. Differences in metallurgy used sure, but not enough to want up to 3x as much for like 3 ounces of actual metal along with a very very very cheap-to-produce plastic handle.

Lmao thats hilarious

Hey buddy hope you are staying cool and doing well

What is the best way to profit from the crypto market, I wanted to trade crypto but I don't know how it works

That won't bother you if you trade with Avi Gilburt

Wow I'm just shocked you mentioned Avi Gilburt, I thought people don't know him... he’s really awesome!

I heard that his strategies are really good

Yeah I raised up to 125k USDT trading with Avi I bought a new House and a car here in the states

The only thing worse is a Harbor freight fanboi that thinks their cheap Chinese communist tools are supporting this country and actually worth the usa money they wasted on them when in fact they just need to be honest and say hey I'm cheap. 😃

@@CPthetooladdict I mean honestly there's nothing worse than a tool snob if it works it works

"Works" is a pretty loose term as a professional mechanic I don't have the luxury of telling the customer "hey your Ac blows at 65° so please understand it still works but it's not working correctly" so I have a bit more higher expectations than just getting me by, I take pride in what I do and I don't just get by it goes the same for cheap parts if I tell a customer the are paying $1200 a repair they probably are going to expect a little more out of that then "hey I used cheap Chinese parts they have a 30day or worse yet no warranty but you saved 200" you just have to know what is worth spending your money on and what isn't and harbor freight or any tool companies do not sell they best of everything that's why I have a little from everyone.

@@CPthetooladdict lol bud 🤣 I'm not reading all that s*** you're getting too much into your feelings here

It's okay Neil your not the first snowflake that just complains because he sucks at life.
