Sounds more like you need a new snap on dealer, but if you got a HF nearby then that’s a good option as well, easy warranty process without hassles of the rep. But with tools that goes for all brands just on who you deal with and how they take care of ya
You have a dealer problem. Dont blame the tool because your dealer is shitty. Those Pittsburgh rachets will break way more than most snap ons will and they have sloppy gearsets with horrible back drag that will make working in tight spaces a chore. Theyre fine of your starting out or DIY but most techs will benefit from professional grade rachets.
My dealer will warranty anything for me. He even warrantied a 3 year old folding light that only had a 1 year warranty. Im sure his dealer wont warranty it for a reason he didnt share but the dealer is definitely the problem
Why not? Plenty of tool companies will warrenty then no questions asked. And they replace the whole tool, not just throw a kit in your old tool. I have a bunch of snap on stuff... But it's hard to justify
@@taylor2105I do every start of the new work week and properly clean my tools at the end of a job or the end of the day depending on the job it’s not hard just commonsense like if u don’t clean and maintain your dirt bike it’ll be completely fucked pretty soon
@@jamesmahy3073 lol my neglected dirtbike and tools would say otherwise Stanley tools makes some really cheap mechanics tools. They can't handle the abuse a snap on can take. But they have an incredibly good warrenty and they stand behind their product a lot better than the expensive tool truck brands. What does that say for the expensive ones? You'd be surprised how crappy, cheap and abused the tools Oilfield service companies run. The cheap brands from princess auto/harbor freight. They're everywhere out there surviving chemicals and mud and extreme weather. Abused and smashed by guys out there daily, and they make it for years.
I love the responses from everyone saying find a new snap on dealer. But if it’s up to the dealer to make that choice it’s always going to be an issue especially if you’re a new client. As much as I love snappy tools the freight is always going to beat the warranty. Quality is nice and all but that’s only if it works. If it’s broken that quality means nothing to the job that you can’t finish. A high end broken tool will never beat a working cheap tool. I’m sure that clients car you’re working on won’t mind if you have a snappy ratchet or a harbor freight ratchet.
Why wont ur dealer warranty it? Sounds like ur dealer is the issue. All tools break, some more than others, even Snap on will break, but if ur dealer wont warranty it, then theres ur problem.
I don't give him enough buisness, he told me he'd warranty my stuff and then never gets back to me on my warranty request, my guess is I only bought 2 tools from him in the past year. He could careless about my concerns because I could care less about making him money.
@@peterjedsawyer4364 I don't blame you, I wouldn't buy anything from a clown like that. Had a Mac tool guy like that once. Guy I worked with bought his big Mac boxes and most of his tools from him. He would refuse to replace for him several times. I never bought anything from because of that.
Haha! Yeah. I've used Snap-On stuff (never owned any), I don't see anything about them that warrants their insane prices. They make quality US-made tools, but other outfits do as well, and they don't charge what Snap-On does. My Proto stuff kicks their ass in essentially every way other than maybe looks, and I've almost NEVER broken a Proto tool, even with extreme abuse. I guess if I was a mechanic I'd buy the hype (or maybe feel the difference). I'm not, so I don't.
@@The_sinner_Jim_WhitneyPart of that price is the tool truck bringing the tools to you. It's a lot of money to have personalized service, and to get it right when you need it. It's also not cheap to drive those heavy trucks.
I am surprised , Harbor Freight has large combination wrenches , pull real hard on a 7/8 “ wrench and it will develop into a 15/16 “ wrench ! The Most Un-American Tool Company out there !
I don't know about Harbor Freight. You don't have to go from one extreme to the other. Just go with something at Lowe's or Home Depot right in the middle.
Your dealer sucks if hes not willing to honor the warranty shit but snapon and harber freight are pretty much the same thing anymore, just 2 different names
@@vinichi3014 1, learn to spell and talk, 2 i have plenty of snapon tools, 1 harbor freight tool, and 3 ive talked to many corporate reps at snapon that constantly talk about all the lawsuits the 2 companies file towards eachother due to the tools being so similar in design.... plus, snapon, like matco and cornwell, take tools from manufacturers and just rebrand them with their name then double the price. So if you dont know then you dont know, its ok. We wont judge
Our dealer is a dick, he warranties stuff for techs who buy into the truck I've only bought like 2 tools from him a year. I've saved tens of thousands just buying off amazon

That dudes a tool
100% agree
You definitely need a new dealer, I go to a guy who will warranty my broken tag sale finds. I don’t think they are supposed to do that
Definitely does, Never have I had an issue with warranting anything. Even things that broke from pure misuse.
Thats what snap-on built their brand on "if your tool says snap-on its warrantied for life no questions asked" but that seems to be going away.
My dealer will warranty anything for me. He even warrantied a 3 year old folding light that only had a 1 year warranty. Im sure his dealer wont warranty it for a reason he didnt share but the dealer is definitely the problem
Tool maintenance is important , clean and oil your ratchets ! Do not abuse them or use them as HAMMERS !
Why not? Plenty of tool companies will warrenty then no questions asked. And they replace the whole tool, not just throw a kit in your old tool. I have a bunch of snap on stuff... But it's hard to justify
@@taylor2105because it's the honest and responsible thing to do?

Very True.
Nice vid, bro. I just stopped by to see what the Snap-On pole riders have to say lmao.
Well tbh all ratchets become junk after much use urs look abused. Prob using it on way too tight of things where u should break out 1/2
If a snapon guy refused to warranty a tool of mine, that was under warranty. Id walk on his truck and replace it myself.
Buy a repair kit once for the snap on every 3 to 5 trips to HF when they eventually wear out.
Why wont ur dealer warranty it? Sounds like ur dealer is the issue. All tools break, some more than others, even Snap on will break, but if ur dealer wont warranty it, then theres ur problem.

WOW I never had a problem with snap on warranty. I will keep mine.
My tool dealers a dick and he doesn't warranty for techs that don't buy from him. I've only bought 3 small tools from him in the past year
@@peterjedsawyer4364 I don't blame you, I wouldn't buy anything from a clown like that. Had a Mac tool guy like that once. Guy I worked with bought his big Mac boxes and most of his tools from him. He would refuse to replace for him several times. I never bought anything from because of that.
I was told snapon is amazing at making tools that don't have moving parts.

@@PANZERFAUST90 I'm sure there are any number of reasons why they cost too much, but they still cost too much, haha!
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney Yeah I'm just saying the service and the truck are what set it over the top of their already high price.
@@PANZERFAUST90 Fair enough. And in a professional shop where one's time MIGHT be valuable enough, that may well be worth it.
Ever thought about cleaning ur tools after using them and not abusing them then complaining no wonder he won’t warranty them
I'm an automechanic I get nasty driveline the last thing I have time for at the end of the day is making my tools look pretty.
@@peterjedsawyer4364it dosnt matter wat you have if you abuse and don't take care of something it won't last
how much would you sale the snap on for
I think you mean "Sell" not "sale" and no its not for sale.
At the end of the day, Snap-on should be the better tool. Give hf a shot though. You might be surprised.

I cant believe i just wasted my time watching that video.
I dang near spit my beer out here brother.

True true
Harbor freight tools are no wear near snap on levels you must can't afford them sayin some shihh like this

Snap on won’t stand behind their product? Not cool

all ratchets need to be rebuilt eventually. Often they only slip because of grime and just need a cleaning
😱WHAT IS THAT GUY SAYING??? Even at full volume I can’t hear what he is saying
Snap on is for guys who want to impress dudes it is like chicks and lui Vuitton lol
if it only locked...
buy wera
