    But alot of stuff i buy off MAC and SNAP ON are because ive bought cheap stuff and it doesn't last, example ive broken more allen key sockets than ive had beers! but bought a snap on gold set and had them 5 years now with the same set!!!

    its a shame snap on air tools are utter dog shit as everything else they do is ok.

    I had a snap on 90 degree air grinder, lasted 8 weeks before the viens shattered.

    AMR did campaign a 007 car some years ago. I had more to do with #97 when I was at Prodrive tho.

    I thought IR made some of Snap On's air tools. Irwin make some bits for them like tap and die sets and. Bahco is another too.
    Cannot beat Snap On quality for the main tools like ratchets, sockets and spanners etc. The screwdrivers always seem to fit better too. The tool cabinets are far better quality too, being a lot thicker metal and built better. It all holds its money better as well.

    Having used Snap-on stuff at the bodyshop i was never impressed with the quality. Ratches die/slip quickly. Even when i started to oil and look after them.
    The smarmy/snotty (sp?) sales guy down here is a dick. If you spend mega, he loves you. If not you get nothing.
    Owner of the bodyshop got everything... But still got shit service.

    I use a mix of Halfords, Draper and Sealey.
    Just changed my "bottom" box, was a halfords one but was full so upgraded to a 7 draw Machine Mart box. Which really annoyingly is a little thinner. So they wont sit nicely.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
