This thread isn't about cash though, is it? It's about different peoples' perceptions of value. £80 on jeans? - nope I never would, cos designer brands don't interest me, I'm very happy with Gap. Or even M&S. But I just paid £60 for an iPod Shuffle rather than the £20 for Comet's own make, cos I think it's far better designed, will do the job well, and it will probably last a lot longer. Same as Lozzo's toolbox

[QUOTE=Lozzo;2159027]I'd be willing to put 20 quid on my toolbox lasting longer than your SV does, and still being worth something in 10 years time.
hey lozzo id be more willing to put a £20 on the sv m8 ..... im going to get my third bottom box off snap-on in 3 years due to it going rusty,ive had 2 red ones now im going for the black ,the only thing thats good the boxes have the same warranty as the tools ,the only bad thing they have a nice price tag !!!!

I got my 4 draw rolling tool box for free when a local garage closed (no tools included).
it should be a 5 draw but one draw is missing. It does the job I need it for, IE storing my tools in neat and sensible order. Wish I could afford to spend £400 on a new box, as Lozzo said, His money does what he likes with it. I hope you have great enjoyment opening and closing and putting your tool in your new box... ![]()

my bro is a car mechanic and he buys quite a lot of snap on stuff. I nearly died when he told me the price of it tho! but do snap on not offer an amazing warranty with all the tools/boxes? if things break they generally get replaced easily/quickly for free etc.... especially if you know the rep who sold you them.
when you think they are the tools you use to make a living, why not buy the best if you can afford? |
