Re:time to buy tools
I work at a Harley Dealer and all the tools we have are snap on ,craftmen ,mac ,matco and a whole bunch more brand names. We get like 3 different people that drop by in trucks.The techs mainly get snap on since they have some deal with harley to make the specialty tools but we have craftmen in the shop box.

Re:time to buy tools
The only thing Snap On makes that I think is worth the money compared to other brands are there ratchets. I have tried every brand of ratchet on the market and have the scars on my knuckles to prove it. Spend the money, get a good ratchet, get everything else from Sears. I get all my impact sockets from a place called Northern, Ingersall Rand brand, and they are indestructable and cheap.

we get LOTS of tools from northern, they used to be northern hydraulics, but they sold tools then too. we mainly get woodworking stuff, saws, handtools, etc, for the business(we make custom doors and stuff) they have good prices.
