A Truth about snap- on dealers

I had a 1/2" snap-on rachet that was broken and had a hell of a time getting the snap-on guy to fix it. They asked me where I got if from and if I had other snap-on tools etc. I actually got it from my dad who was a professional mechanic for 38 years. Anyhow, after a few weeks of calling a local rep they finally agreed I could bring it to their truck for repair. They didn't replace it, just added a new mechanism with unmatched screws. Pretty pathetic! I'll never buy snap-on... ever!

I'm glad I'm not alone. It shouldn't matter where we got it, how many other SO tools we have etc. Sears has never once asked me those things when I take something in, they just give me a new one, as it should be.

Either they stand behind them or they don't.

I still buy them, because they really are a quality toll, but if that ever happens to me again, I'm gonna raise a huge stink, I'll go right straight to Snap On.
