I worked with a guy who told me he was shown a video clip made by Snap on where they took a Matco box and put it in a car crusher. They proceded to crush the box and then put an equal Snap on box in there. Just as it was about to make contact with the box they stopped it, laughed and said something like "yea it would crush just as easy, we just thought it would be fun to crush one of those boxes". Wish I could find this clip as I bet it's funny as hell.

The snap on guy wouldnt warranty a snap on tool that one of my co workers had but didnt buy from him. I think its BS that the Snap on guy gave him a hard time about replacing or repairing the tool under warranty.

Im a automotive technician and buy nothing but snap on, some of the other guys buy craftsman and i personally like the structure of snap on vs craftsman.
