Things Snap-On Tool owners say.

I can't pay my house payment bc I bought a new set of Snap On wrenches.

Y’all do realize this is a fake belly I have on right? 😂

“My wife asked me to take her somewhere expensive and I took her to a snap-on truck” had me rollin 😂

The shop that rebuilt my 426 stroker left a Snap-on screw driver under the hood. I think I came out ahead on that deal.

It’s amazing how accurate Ginger Billy is while still being so funny and all American, protect him at all costs we love and need him 🔥💯🇺🇸

Snap on tool bills are like a family heirloom

I'm still paying for my dad's snap on tools. He passed away ten years ago. I hope to someday pass this bill to my son.

“Paid 30 dollar a foot for it” I’m ded. 😂

Its really difficult to stay in a bad mood while watching GB's content. I love this guy😂

Married to a mechanic. I can say this... there is a difference between a "high end" tool and a Sears craftsman type of tool. When the sewer pipe burst and I was scabbing another pipe in, I could really appreciate how the screwdriver did not cause hand fatigue. That was about the time I heard my husband screaming "you had better be using those craftsmans and NOT be getting my Cornwells in that shiat water!"

I love the free hat for spending $1500.00. I feel like everyone I know that bought from snap-on is having like 10k+ payroll deducted.

My stepson is a mechanic and this is completely accurate. He owes Snap On so much money that they get half his paycheck EVERY WEEK! He doesn't know how to stop. He came home yesterday with a new impact gun he lives at can't afford to go anywhere else. Smdh. I was like "son, wth are you thinking?" His reply, "I really needed them this time". The ironic thing is, he says that every time.

as an ex mechanic I can confirm this as 100% accurate

Many years ago I started a job here in Canada when I emigrated, the first guy in on Monday to see me was Mr. Snap on. The first words from him were" We can take this whole box of crap throw it in the scrap bin and get you a credit check to start your new tool plan". I just looked him right in the face said " nope not happening and it was nice meeting you" If that clown thought I was going to scrap 20K of tools I could probably replace 3 times over in my whole career for what he wanted me to finance, he was crazy. That was just before 9/11 most of those tools were 10 years old then, I still have them now with more added, and being a heavy equipment mechanic they've been well used. The only things that are worn out is the toolbox I paid a $1000 for 23 years ago and me being nearly 50 . I only own 1 snap on socket my boss replaced for me back then and a mac die grinder that was in a $5 box of junk I bought the rest is better quality no real top name brands. I'd like a nice used 90's style Snap on toolbox with a sensible draw pattern in, but I'm not paying 5k for it like some clowns want here in Canada at the moment !

And I thought I was crazy for buying old craftsman tools at a pawn shop and returning to ace hardware to replace for new ones to claim the lifetime warranty 😂

Finally understand why it cost so much money to get my truck fixed. The mechanic has to pay off his Snap-on tools.

[jamesdowney]

Them snap-on trucks are like fishing lures… they get you in with all the shiny stuff, then get you with the pliers that can pick up a nickel…

I tell the kids to get a Harbor Freight tool chest and fill it with HF tools. As time goes by they will learn what tools actually need to be quality and which tools spend the majority of their life in the box. Eventually, they will have heavily used good quality tools and a full paycheck every week. Another thing they can do is find the old retired guy and offer him half the going rate for his stuff as they need it.

$150 a month for the next 200 years sounds like the CD of the Month Club Terms back in the 90's! Ouch! 😂😂😂

10 years ago or so, right after high school, I worked at a company that refurbished and repaired tube trailers (trailers that haul compressed gas). There was a guy there - I'll call him Dave - in his mid-50s who literally didn't have a tool in his box that wasn't Snap-On. Grease gun, tape measure, tire tread gauge, creeper, paint scraper, flashlight, razor blade holder, flint striker - Snap-On.

The trouble was that, although Dave was a licensed trailer mechanic, he had the brains of a rabbit - he was continually making mistakes and hurting himself, so the company used him as a handyman and caretaker and didn't let him work on trailers if they could at all help it, while his Snap-On tools gathered dust. Keeping him on at all was an act of charity, though of course Dave, a _Snap-On Mechanic_, didn't see it that way. The thread common to all Dave's complaints was that all these great Snap-On tools he had were going to waste - that is, that management was wasting him, a _Snap-On Mechanic_, by using him for menial tasks, not that the Snap-On tools were wasted on a mechanic of Dave's skill.

At one point the company brought in a high school co-op kid and Dave was assigned to train him. I remember how proud of himself he looked when he finally got to use his Snap-On sockets, wrenches and air tools again. Alas, only a few weeks later, Dave - theoretically a mechanic with 30 years' experience - under-tightened and forgot to torque a trailer's wheels, and one spun right off on the highway. Thankfully no-one was hurt, but Dave promptly lost his apprentice and was sent back to emptying the trash cans and driving the forklift.

Quite soon after that, the Snap-On truck paid a visit to the shop. I was amazed (his recent demotion being quite fresh in the mind) to see that Dave had bought a new seat, a code reader, a set of stubby screwdrivers and a tool cart. As he surveyed his new tools, he shared with me some choice pieces of _Snap-On Mechanic_ wisdom: when you put your bread on the table with your tools, you can't afford anything less than the best; Snap-On is the best deal out there because they let you finance everything; and look, since I've been a loyal customer all these years, the guy even threw in this Snap-On sticker for free!

I'm a licensed truck mechanic now and most of my hand tools are from Canadian Tire and flea markets, and my air tools I bought used on eBay and kijiji.

EDIT: I don't want to sound like a hater tho - I work with a couple guys who buy from the Snap-On truck and really are great mechanics and normal, nice, down-to-earth dudes with brains, to boot. And in my experience Snap-On stuff _is_ high-quality. The point is that one's tools should not be regarded as a weewee extension =]

The pressure for him to be this funny ALL of the time, is probably overwhelming. Every time he posts a video, etc., he completely turns my day around. Imagine what he is doing for millions who watch and support him. I hope Ginger Billy reaps nothing but good things in his life 100 times over. He truly is one of a kind.

My uncle ran a shop both auto and farm equipment for 40 years and used 95% craftsman. Said 99% of the time you can’t tell the difference and when you’re making service calls out in the field you lose stuff and losing a craftsman socket or wrench was painless not to mention there were 2 sears stores within 25 min so if he broke something he didn’t have to wait for a tool truck to come buy.
