My wife said once "you're not even a mechanic why do you need Snap On tools" and I said "you're not twenty years old so why do you need to color your hair". That was a cold ass couple of weeks sleeping in the shed.
Bud you never said that. And let's be honest you have a 100$ waterloo box and a set of master craft sockets that you used once to tighten your 2007 Toyota yaris's head light bolt
@@tonydorsey11b Don't get me wrong, I spend every last dollar I make on tools. I would rather not buy a fancy truck or new toolbox now in order to save my hands and wrists later. Also, I always clean every tool after a job to make sure I don't loose something.
@@almightyracingtime. It's going to be OK, I'm in debt too. Its a huge weight to carry, but now I paid off one truck and the next is in my sights. There's light at the end of the very long tunnel, I promise.
My old Snap-on guy never pushed boxes on young guys. He kept a line of good quality, economy priced carts to get started. He always pushed the everyday tools, not the latest greatest stuff. He was always looking out for his customers, making sure they bought the tools that would make them money. That's a well stocked truck and a great sales guy.
Same with mine, although it was one time I was on it, I’m not in a job yet, but he was a really nice guy, came on to get a socket fixed, buy something, he gave me some catalogs and a hat for free
I was a Heavy Equipment Mechanic for 45 years, 1977-2022 and purchased only Snap On the whole time, owning almost everything they made, my wife used to ask me "when will you have everything Snap On makes ? " I said never, they keep coming out with must have's every month ! Going on the truck was the highlight of my week ! That is the best stocked truck I have ever seen, I had 10 or so dealers during my career all with nothing close to his inventory.
@@jayinla81I am selling a 50 year snap on lifer’s set now for my mother in law. After research - Selling by set and pieces. You cannot sell it as just one lot. Every person has their own needs and if they can afford to buy an entire person’s haul they want to build their own set. What has surprised me is how easy the snap on stuff sells. The mactools/matco/icon etc tools sit with way less interest. It takes allot of time - I spend an hour or two every night - research item price and set and note series/sku etc. clean and take photos. Write the listing and post online. 30 items will sell an average of one item a day. Can generally get half or bit more for non specialized tools. The metric will go for more as there is more demand for it. Sometimes you get a local guy - like this video and their upgrading from their craftsman or something and they have money and know what they want - they buy half of what I have listed. I have gone down a bit of a rabbit hole on this and I think there is a growing qty of used snap on as there is just a very high amount of older skilled trades people retiring right now.
Carl is one of the best snap on dealers I’ve seen in a long time, well stocked and great attitude! As well as very knowledgeable about the products he sells and his customers, you never see this kind of dealer anymore sadly. He is what snap on needs more of. And btw Cam we’re gonna need a tour of that new rig, looks like a really nice freightliner M2. Huge upgrade, congrats!
Those little 3/8 snap on guns are phenomenal. I work in mining heavy diesel in Australia and it’s the only snap on electric tool I run. It’s absolutely phenomenal, it’s tiny, powerful, and the magnetic boot is insanely useful. I rate it BIG time
My favorite thing he said was "Dont buy the box first, you're not going to make the money. The tools will make the money!" I love it when people understand yes its nice to have the big fancy box but if you buy the quality tools and all that other stuff like the pliers etc you'll then be able to make the money and trade your cart in for the box!
I'm a firm believer in the right tool for the right job, and quality overrides price. The way your dealer helped you and was knowledgeable shows his professionalism.
@@BadGoat92 I'm lucky. My driver is friends with other drivers across the country. He got me those and the new locking flex before they were officially released.
I love tools, even as a kid I bought tools instead of toys. Do my own mechanical work on my own vehicles. If I had it to do again, I would go into heavy duty mechanics. Always enjoyed working on heavy equipment. Spent much of my life operating machinery, trucks and did repairs as needed.
My shop got broke into got 2 boxes full snap on and mac came worked together and got me up and going 32 k snap on and 26 k mac still have receipts lol it was paid by insurance a month later but tool truck dealers are very helpful when that happens.thanks Norm and Don .
Get that apprentice of yours on the truck, best to get em early! Im also and HD mechanic who had Carson as an apprentice. Tell him Shawn from the forklift shop says hi!
I always keep a 3/8 12 point metric set just in case. When removing a roller frame or steering motor on certain Cat machines they are needed, so good to have. Also when you don’t have the correct size tap socket they come in handy
That dealer is stocked! Out of the industry, but still have my green hard handled screwdrivers...1995 about $98. I bought more hards and switched out the instincts. For a go bag I now mix and match. 5/16 3/8 10mm 7/16 1/2 9/16 15mm etc. Saves weight,was a nice haul Cam!
That 3/8” impact is awesome, you won’t regret it. The ergonomics and the trigger is just perfect. It would be great to see a “real world” review of the 1/2” from you though. My 1/2” Milwaukee has been so solid I haven’t even looked into snap on. Not to mention adding an additional battery platform to the service truck makes me soft
I never been on a truck - I assumed their all like this honestly… BUT After reading the comments it seems many are NoT well stocked. I wonder what SnapOn is doing to NOT incentivize their trucks to stocked more. Seems like if you are stocked people will stay on and buy more.
These videos make me want to own a snap on franchise. I missed the boat being a diesel mechanic, so selling amazing tools seems like the next best thing
Yuh this is so dope, I finally got to go remote for work so im gonna pick up that small us general cart from harbor freight end of the week, so stoked!
I seen that truck rolling down the highway towards me and I was like there’s another fucking contractor in town now. Then cam told me about it a couple days later and harassed me for not waving. Lol
I agree that tools don't make the mechanic, but I will say my confidence has gone up as far as what I'm willing to tackle because I know I have the right tool to help me for the most part. I'm a year in on working on dump trucks but not new to working on vehicles.
Most all of my tools are Snap-on, old dealer was stocked, if he didn't have the tool on the truck he sent one of his other guys to my shop the next day to deliver if they had it. Moved to a new shop and route, guy has almost nothing, but my Matco and MAC dealer are stocked and super helpful on those "ooh shiny" kinda things, if it isn't made by the parent company they cut good deals to where I don't go to Amazon or Ebay for that $5-10 less price, love that shit.
You definitely don’t nee do snap-on and I used to bash snap on for price gouging but after 15 years I’ve realized snap-on caters to mechanic somthing as simple making thin impact and having a wide range of specialty tools is what sold me that they are definitely needed in the industry no matter how expensive lol
AWESOME!!! As a recovering Snap-On addict, (only because I have most everything I need) boy did this bring back fond memories! I have had many excursions like this and miss them dearly. What a fun video Cam! Looks like you added another truck? I hope we get a tour of it and then your fleet. Stay safe man! Thanks again for taking the time to make this.
I wonder the total value of that Snap-On truck is. I used to see tool trucks when I was a teen working with my brother at a body shop, but it has been 25+ years seen I have stepped foot in a tool truck. Now a-days maybe if there was a Harbor Freight tool truck I would be able to shop there but never at Snap-On. Just out of my paygrade. Thanks for sharing this, it was really cool to see inside a truck. If you can afford to shop on a truck then you should. You prob worked your butt off in life and now you are successful. Don't let any trolls on the internet get to you man. Enjoy yourself.
Should have bought those new style adjustable needle nose. I got the big and small set. I don’t reach for my old ones anymore. And the 3/8’s is a must have I’m on my 3rd one. One brushless and one brush at work and one brush at home.
I have to say I am very jealous. But, unfortunately I am not busy enough to get even close to anything like that. Im still rebuilding my entire collection bcuz of medical situation about 6yrs ago where I sold everything. Had no choice really. But, I really glad you are in a position to do it.
Snap on is awesome ..Might as well spend it before the end of the year! Less profit to report and if you have a whole truck to equip the best time to do it!
People can talk all they want to but quality tools really help. I'm dealing with cheap tools right now and swapping out for snapon. Snapon wrenches and sockets
Really hoping to get into my local union and start apprenticeship this spring. Ive done industrial machining working with komatsu and cat guys and I loved it, just not willing to do it for the shit pay. Came across Tekamo a couple months ago and im quite glad i did 👍
Awesome, are we getting a freighliner m2 tour soon ehh ehh ?? That is one very well stocked tool truck, nice to see, i have to drive 40 minutes to meet the closest one in my area, but that is really rural Alberta life. Keep b.c moving Cam, and great job on yhe videos Tekamo
Well I've been watching ya'lls videos for awhile now and you guys definitely know how to at least have a good time when your out there busting your asses to get those machines back up and running....And to the dude that slams the energy drinks at the end of his vids your a absolute beast bro...
What do you mean no leaf blowers? I got my snap on leafblower like 4 months ago? Use it all the time to blow out the shop floor and equipment in the field. Just wish i got a bit more battery life before it overheats them, and it starts flashing. After about 20/30mins it's cool enough to keep going.
I don't know why? But It feels like Xmas for me watching Cam go Ham on the Snaptruck. I dream of buying all the Snap-on tools. Cam is "Big pimpin spending ggggsssss :0
