Default Just got a sweet deal on a torque wrench

Just bought a ............ snap-on torque wrench............... EXCELLENT DEAL

I've been trying to get one on ebay forever.


It seem some guy who owned a mechanic shop............. got into some trouble with the law. He had to pawn just about ever thing he owned to pay the bail bondsman and the attorney.


I got luck ............ this torque wrench is just like new.

If it really is a snap-ON it might not have been such a great deal ...

They also have a extremely nice snap-on tool box .............. This tool box is the ultimate. It's one of those hugh tool boxes on wheels...............

I know it retails for about $4,000 ............. I know the owner of the pawn shop........ he said he would sell it for $2,000.............

Ours has hydraulic disc brakes on it. No joke.

And Craftsman Pro (my preference in all tools and equipment) is just as high quality (if not more) than Snap-On, for a margin of the price. I also see nothing wrong with Mac or Matco.

Snap-On is just way overpriced.

Dude, punctuation is your friend.

No, I have a nicer toolbox.

Yes, Snap-On costs way too much, but even if it were at a good discount, a Craftsman Pro at a similar discount would be at a margin of the cost.
