Why people don't buy craftsman anymore

It all depends on the route.(if you are in a section of town where you dont have lot of shops to stop at, and not many customers) also remember tool trucks are a franchise, to even get a truck you need to come up with the cash. I've seen guys empty their savings accounts for a Snap on Truck only to be unemployed less than two years later. it all comes down to this, the tool trucks are selling tools priced for a guy who makes 60 -75 grand a year, most auto shop wrenches are making 40 -50 at best. Plus they get you in hock to them to where you pay them more than you pay your ex for child support. I dont feel sorry for tool truck salesmen...

This happened about 2000 and he had been selling MAC for a long time. I had been doing business with him for 13 years. MAC also screwed him on returning his inventory, so he refused to turn over his books to them. And this was in the Orlando Fl market so no small town. But then I also know a guy that was a Snap On dealer for a long time that quit Snap On and went independent I am sure he made a lot of money his truck was always chock full of tools and he was always on route no excuses.
