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.

I still can’t get over how loaded this truck is!

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!

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.

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

“The more I talk about the more I convince myself” the truest statement ever when it comes to buying tools

This Snap on dealer is very knowledgeable about his product ! I respect that ! 6:50 look at all those 3/8 ratchets 😍😍

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.

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

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

That’s a good dealer. I been buying Snap-On since I was 18 and now 40. I love the quality

Forget the snap on truck when are we getting a tour of that beast Cam was rolling in

hello from Aus 🇦🇺, always a good day when a episode comes out. keep doing what you’re doing!

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

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.

Awesome video. Funny to listen to the dialogue. Every line the man says is trying to subtly take you into the danger zone with tools lol

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 👍

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.

im gonna watch all the videos!! love the content!!!

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!

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

the pliers are really good

"6-point always" YES. Unless it's actually a 12 point fastener haha

Need part 2 and a vid of it all on the truck

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.

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!

Hey Cam...I've had the snap on impacts guns 🔫 and I use them in the field alot and they last way longer then the shitty Milwaukee battery's ...I've had them 2 years I'd recommend to get '(just clips kit ) for the end of the envil they wear out and sockets fall of cause that's all I've ever replaced

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

Thank you to everyone who buys snap on. It’s a premium price. But it made with premium equipment and it feeds people’s family’s in the US. I know harbor freight is cheaper but chinas making the profit 😂

smart idea with high vis

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.

This is how my Snap-on dreams are.

Personal I switched to Milwaukee sockets they just fit better then the snap on ones. But snap on ratchets are the best in my opinion. But to all there own.

My dealer has like 3 ratchets, 5 pliers, a set of stubby wrenches with one missing, and a couple sets of sockets in foam. I couldn't control myself on that truck, the only thing keeping my impulses at bay is the fact that I have to order anything that I want.

The new snap on instinct handles can be covered in whatever for however long and they legitimately wipe off clean.
