The truck on the bottom owned my soul (for what seemed like an eternity). So when I was still in the trades, I move to a new neighborhood and one of my new neighbors was a Snap On dealer. So I went over introduced myself and asked him to warrantee a Snap On ratchet. He f*cking blew up, "You didn't purchase that ratched from me...WTF!." me; "Dude it's a Snap On. guaranteed for...ever". So for what seemed like an hour I had to listen to his BS diatribe about how he isn't making any money. I looked around; at his house (bigger then mine), his race car, his personnal truck (newer then mine), and then his fat wife walked out...I said thank you and walked away.
That is just bullpucky. I NEVER refused a stranger who had a legit warranty tool. You never know when they will spend money with you. If you’re a jerk they certainly will not.

The only way it hurts to warranty a tool is if your warranty expense vastly outpaces your other metrics. If your business is solid, it costs nothing including the shipping.

All this said, if you have stuff that needs replacement, go to snapon.com, fill out the form and they will send you an email with instructions. Most of the time they don’t even want the broken tools back and will ship the new tools on their dime.

No, it's not bullpucky... he did warrantee the ratchet. But it was not a pleasant experience. Why did I not go to the dealer who I bought it from? ...I was no longer in the trades.

BTW... this took place...more then 25 years ago. Interesting enough, a few years later, ...after he quit Snap On and was no longer married, we became pretty good friends. Actually he was two different people before and after, was it the job or the marriage...who knows.

To be clear, wasn’t saying you weren’t being truthful, but that he wasn’t being honest about it costing him to warranty the tools.

I didn't say that it was costing him. I'm pretty sure the reason why he was upset, was possibly beceause his marriage stank, and his deal with Snap On wasn't working the way he though it should, ...and at that time, I was an easy target to unload his frustrations. Looking back I get it. He did give up his truck soon after that. And as I mentioned before, we became friends.

I have no beef with Snap On, my tools were warranteed :LOL:, the shop that I ran, went through two engine annilizers, (smog certification in Kommyfornia in the '70's)), an A/C recharge station, charging system analyzer, and a battery tester. Snap On made me a lot of money...pretty sure they made a lot of money off of me also!

Their AC machines are very nice take all the guess work out. Love those torque wrenchs that ratchet and give you degrees.

Expensive, but they are top notch.

That's nice to know I swore to never buy snap on after our local dealer we had in North Texas.
