I've not had any problems with snap-on warranties but as you say I am a regular payer so need to be kept sweet.
Not had any problems with snap on warranties either but like you am a regular spender (can't help meself)
If it aint on offer I don't buy it. If what I want isn't on special I just tell snap-on what I want and it's usually just a couple of weeks before I get a call back telling me that they are. Most of my tools I could almost double my money on by sticking em on ebay.
Man after me own heart can't beat a special, (just like the wife saving me money buying shoes in a sale :doh
I have some cheap tools aswell. These are ideal for when a tool needs to be modified to fit a specific job.
FFS we could be twins, can't beat having odd sockets and spanners for making SPECIAL tools
I would rather spend £500 on tools and have em in a £50 box than spend £50 on tools and put em in a £500 box.
So would i (but i have got a £4000ish tool box
I rekon Mac have now gotten more expensive than snap-on
Got some good MAC tools but they are getting expensive.
Morning Ratty keeping busy i hope

NOT BOTHERED.
try to find a set of 6 point sockets instead of 12 point, less chance of them rounding the nuts off
i agree,i have just bought a 6 point socket set and it is a great bit of kit.

Going back to SnapOn, today at work, 1/2" drive flexi head ratchet 18" long. Removing the pre cat O2 sensor on a Porsche 996 the square drive snapped, not the bar or the ratchet but the actual square part that fits into the socket. No scaffold tube or hammers just arm power.
Gaffer threw it in the corner "SnapOn ****" but it will get replaced "free" next time we see a SnapOn rep, if ever?

i break snap on stuff sometimes but it still is very much less likely than most other tools,how many could you undo v8 head bolts with 3ft bteaker bar 1/2 inch drive with 3/8 socket and adapter and bending bar,at lest it was faulty part and not std for range
