Greeting from the USA! Snap-On corperation is 25minutes from my door. Beautiful box, congratulations !!

Beautiful, very nice Snap-on toolbox and tool collection. Very nicely organized too. Thank you very much for sharing your toolbox inventory with us! Keep on building that beautiful tool collection. Gregg Critter Muse

Time for a hutch/riser! Thx for the show and tell. I love an organized tool box. Especially with Snap On Tools. Organized = Efficient 😁

It sounds like my grandson is going to take the same route as you and is hopefully starting Fylde College this year if the world survives the apocalypse. It did his great uncle, my brother, no harm as he started as an apprentice for Leyland Motors, now has an Engineering PhD and is a uni lecturer. I don't believe academia, A levels, degrees etc are necessarily a sign of intelligence as much as on the job problem solving is. This is the first Snap-On review I’ve seen from the UK, a well laid out kit. Do the big vans travel round like they do in America? I might start on my shopping list now to give to my grandson.

@Darrall59

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Mark, I'm sure he'll do great, aslong as your passionate enough about cars and people he'll fly through his initial training and job offers! So for tools we have smaller vans/small lorries not the huge lorries like in the US they are enough to fit a decent amount of kit in though! I think you should start looking for bits for him, I'd suggest like garage sales ect, Cheaper kit first then replace it with more expensive and take the older kit home. Having expensive kit sure is great but it's way better to have a large variation in tools to make your more productive. Thanks for watching!

Sorry about butting in on your conversation, but I have some insight on your question. Yes, I am from American. Yes I am an automotive technician & made my 1sr Snap-on tool perches way back in 1985. Yes i have a Snap-on toolbox & tools & yes I have traveled to 21 other countries. In the tool world there are really 3 major tool companies with tool truck (Snap-on tools, Mac tools, & Matco tools). There are a few other tool companies in some places in America with tool trucks 2 of the other companies that I've had are S & K tools & Cornwell tools. I've heard that there are more but thats all that I've personal seen. I've bought Snap-on tools off the Snap-on tool truck in Mannheim, Germany & Snap-on tool (store) in Kawait City, Kawait. Snap-on tools are sold in most countries around the world. With all that being said I agree that as nice as Snap-on tools are, as a entery level technician, total quantity of tools is more important that quality of the tools to a certain point but junk tools that break the 1st time you try & use them are just a total waist of money. Craftsman tools, Gearwrench tools, S & K tools, Proto tools, ect... are all a better choice for a beginner. I learned that the hard way (expensive way)! LOL To give you an example, when a Snap-on 15mm combination wrench (spanner wrench) will cost you around $60-$70 USD as opposed to $10 USD for say a Craftsmen 15mm combination wrench (spanner). Well it's a no brainer to buy the Craftsman tools when i can buy 6 - 7 times as many Craftsman tools as opposed to Snap-on tools. Just so you know that i do know what im talking about and not just blowing smoke up your behind, you can see my toolbox inventory here on KZread @ Critter's Snap-on. Your grandson is very lucky to have a grandfather like you! I bought every tool I own. Sorry to but in on your conversation Mark but as a person that has been buying Snap-on tools for almost 40yrs I felt compelled to weigh in & put my 2 cents in. Gregg "Critter" Muse

Try the millwukee fuel impact guns

That was a great video love the fact you haven't just got snap on tools I've got a lot of Halfords neilsen Bergen/us pro tools tools just because I can't really afford snap on my toolbox is Halfords professional I've had it for 14years and still going strong could you maybe do a day in the life video of your work maybe some time lapse video 👍

I've been totally on the fence starting as an apprentice next year as I'm set to qualify as level 3 next year or as an entry level tech. The pros of being a tech is better money for more tools, I imagine I'd learn the same but that apprentice wage is pittance and I'd be really struggling on it when I leave my part time job. What would you recommend I do as my "progression coach" at college is about as helpful as he sounds. Unis not really my cup of tea, I need practical experience and cashflow now rather than in another 3 years. They're pushing race team degrees but ive seen enough premier inns and race tracks, not for me. cheers

@Darrall59

Apprenticeship is the way to go, your only worth as much as the skill you have. Keep your head down learn from the people around you. Race qualifications aren't worth much these days to get into f1 ect its requires engineering degrees ect. If your level 3 approach your local main dealers and ask for experience in exchange for a days a week free labour! My advice.. If they shout training raise your hand the highest..

@@Darrall59 thanks for the advice, you should really make a few advice videos as there's next to nothing out there that talks about getting into the industry especially from someone who really knows what they're on about and from the UK. Obviously in depth tutorials like some of the Americans make are out of the question when you've got a real job but I reckon you could just talk while you work on something just for background with a pov gopro if you've got one would be brilliant. You could start with a FAQ video for example, it should be pretty limited editing aswell. Anyway, I won't waste anymore of your time, cheers mate.
