    Re: Gave In To Temptation On The Van Of Shiny Things...

    Everyone I've met who's been inside a Snap-On van has come out considerably poorer. Aren't those chests well into four figures? The worst addict is one of the mechanics at a bus garage I only work at occasionally....he's only a young lad, and TBH I reckon about 20% of everything he's ever earned must have gone to one lucky Snap-On franchisee....

    Still, at least with a lifetime guarantee you'll never need to buy another one.

    I plan to never cross the threshold TBH, the few bits of nice kit I have from Teng and Halfords Professional keep me satisfied for the sort of half-arsed tinkering I get up to.
