A Truth about snap- on dealers

Never a problem with the hand tools I've bought from snap-on, and they have a few things others don't offer such as thin walled and 3/4 length deep sockets, but I got away from them when I was negotiating a top box and my dealer wouldn't warranty a few slides on my lower box. Matco dealer took it on trade and I got a new top and bottom for about the same as what Snap-on wanted for the top and he reported back that the subsequent owner got the slides warrantied through a different dealer. My biggest problem with Snap-on is the dealers that think they're the only game in town. He quit talking to me when he saw a 6' tall 9' long Matco wall unit in my stall.
