Have you tried working illegally for below minimum wage and sharing your bedroom with 2 other families?
Your way of life will die out. The messicans will win.
Snap-on is a fucking scam
>few drawers are $60k
such is life in murrica. Chinese would make it $2k and possibly even from good materials, if you were lucky
anyone with enough tools to actually fill something like that would/should have the skills to build their own workshop.
and anyone with that many tools would never need them all in one location like that. he'd have them divided up by use into smaller tool chests he can pull out/move around as needed in his garage/workshop.
having all your tools in one giant chest like that would just force you to keep it in one place and always be running back and forth between what you are working on and your giant retard-tier tool chest.
It's called saving and working and investing over decades you entitled faggot
Enjoy welfare
No it’s fucking not if your job depends on your tools. Snap-on is meant to be used by established mechanics and such, nott some dude doing oil changes in his garage. For 90% of men pittsburg brand is perfectly fine
This guys gets it
>Actually wasting all that money just to make yourself walk across the shop to the behemoth cause it takes two people to move it without toppling it
>Not investing in some kind of mobile solution because that’s where the market starves
>Not being a based heavy equipment tech
He’s probably paint&body, I’ve seen a lot of them set up with big boxes because of the sheer amount of shit they need
Yeah. No.
When did this board go from discussing politics to americans complaining about not being able to be as hedonistic as thier parents used to be?
Stick to kielbasa friend.
Snap On is cuckery, the warranty is the only good thing. Until the tool guy goes bankrupt and they don’t have another guy around for 6 months.
>Buy Bahco, Williams, Proto, IR, literally any quality industrial tooling
>Inb4 whining about not being able to make $25 payments weekly for 10 yrs
Why don’t you ask your paid shills
That a chest for an NHRA Top Fuel Nitro bike team, fyi.
Okey please tell me my payed shill.
Every mechanic draws Nazi propaganda in your car and gets paid to do it.
Fuck off memeflag
>Have you tried working illegally for below minimum wage
they dont hire white people for that
I'd send you some Harbor Freight tools but you would have to pay quadruple their value just to pick them up. Chinesium
Would you prefer the Boomers hoard their money?
Quiet, oven dodger
>Inb4 whining about not being able to make $25 payments weekly for 10 yrs
That goes to show how little you know about collecting tools. You don’t go out and buy an entire fucking snap-on tool rack filled with all the tools, you buy small sets over time as you need them. Odds are you'll start with cheap harbor freight shit and buy quality snap on as pieces as time goes by.
This, huge scam. Maybe 5% of their customers need that shit. They'll troll around the trade schools and community colleges around here and get the auto tech kids signed up to buy a shitload of overpriced tools on payments. Then all you hear is how Snap On is great cuz no one likes to admit that they got took.
It’s paid you dumb kike. Now give my my fucking shekel
I've seen countless techs get upside down in their tools, and then stop making payments
I couldn't care less. $60k is chump change if you live in this Country and have 2 brain cells.
Yup and then their livelihood gets repo'd.
It's called metapolitics, and there's a lot of generational resentment building up in developped countries
None of these faggots turn wrenches. Hardly any of the fags on /o/ even do. All they do on /o/ is larp about cars they dont own, and fanboy brands. Their callouses are from meat beatin.
Because they’re fucking idiots trying to keep up with the veterans. You START with what you can afford and BUILD your toolset with quality pieces over time. I’ve met diesel mechanics that have invested over a million dollars in tools alone throughout their shops
I fucking hate boomers. I spent 6 years in the army as a mechanic; get out and use my GI bill to get a bachelor's and now working on a masters in petroleum engineering. I make 60K and my parent's boomer buddies say that I don't make enough money because I don't "work hard enough"
FUCK YOU
>I have a bachelor’s so I deserve a six figure income
If you were any good in the military as a mechanic you would’ve used your GI bill to learn the basics of business administration and set up your own shop.
>Buy used quality off eBay for first two years
>Buy Grey Pneumatic impact sockets because lolshittyusedmarket
>Buy industrial brand sets that can’t be found used
Replace what you want with “good” sets as needed or at your leisure
Don’t buy Harbor Shit unless you’re in a bind.
>Mfw skipped buying cheap hardline by buying used industrial/truck brands on eBay when I started
The tool truck owners know what they're doing. They're at all the shops, so they know when a newbie just out of school shows up. They prey on them.
I'm not mad about the money
what I'm mad about is they degraded societal morals and ruined an entire generation of women with their sexual "revolution". young women today are completely undatable. if you find a good one consider yourself extremely lucky
they basically doomed an entire generation to loneliness, hence doomers, single parents, and "incels". that's the most cruel thing you could do to anyone
The mechanics I worked with told me to only buy the socket wrenches but buy sockets and everything else from Harbor Freight or Home Depot.
i know people like this.
they just find a hobby, then forcefully buy everything remotely related to it. its just a big wank show.

Your arrogance sickens me.
>Setting up a brick and mortar first
Go mobile and stay away from light cars/trucks. The heavier the better. Get on fb and join HE and Service Truck pages, ask them for advice they’ve done all the leg work and don’t mind helping.
Thats why you gotta immigrate legally to Mexico and then sneak across the border back in to the USA.
You're either a boomer, or 16yo. Fuck off wih your meme business administration paper. You need CAPITAL to start a business, and a mech shop? You need a lot of it.
That's pretty good advice. The sockets are what gets lost all the time. I have a set of snap-on box wrenches that I love, even though I talk shit on snap-on at every opportunity. It's really the tool truck owners that I can't stand.
Half the board is
>1 post by this ID
I don't get it. Why is this $60k? The most expensive steel cabinet sets I get when I google are in the $4-5000 range. Someone explain what makes this so special
LOL. capitalism
>tax write off
>warranty
>resale value
If you buy one of those with a personal checking account or cash, you are retarded. If you buy one through your own LLC, you now have a $60k tax right off you can turn around and sell.
*write off
>being poor
>being salty about it
Go smoke some weed then, loser. The game isn’t broken just because yousuck at it.
>$4-5000 range
Wtf are you talking about? Quality used double-chests cost that much.
im a mechanic, i've moved onto something else. but no real mechanic has shit like that.
a real mechanics toolbox is full of broken shit, titty pictures and layers of grease
>>Boomers buying $60k tool racks while you can’t even eat proper meals.

>mechanic in the army
You are such a hero, you really deserve all those handouts you get.
>masters in petroleum engineering
>2019
You do realize that the shale boom is over, right?
>i don't make enough money because i don't work hard enough
They have a point. If you quit the military and started an auto shop you'd make more money than trying to suck a living off of big oil working a 9-5.
Boomers buy houses for $20k and they paid it off with 3-6 years salary at that time.
House now cost 10x-50x more and wages still remain relatively the same.
And boomers think they’re better than you.
It's like this drawer times 10
I can guarantee you it's made from good materials, cause it's made locally and it's only $500
so 10 drawers like that would be $5000
you're overpaying for some brand name shit, deal with it
A big drawer ain't worth as much as a brand new, higher segment car, lol
60k in the US is pretty good. can afford almost everything you need and live comfortably
Shut up pogue nobody cares
Generally i'd agree but based on the helmets and the 4 NHRA Wally trophies its likely he has enough tools to fill that monstrous thing between all the standard wrenches and sockets and stuff like that and the specialty tools that make working on the dragster easier.
Also i'd bet the tools are autisticly organized and laid out so when there's a deadline and he's in a rush he doesn't have to search for anything, just open the right drawer and its right there.
This is all overkill for the average person or mechanic.
KEK. You think that would usable by a real mech?
Not really.
If you're a real mechanic you need tools that always work and can be instantly replaced for free if they break by someone who comes right to your shop.
t. - mechanic
Oh I see. I was getting premade garage storage units when I searched, which were a lot less complicated. I sorted these smaller ones by price and found this. So I'm guessing if you were a boomer autist with money to burn you could easily rack up tens of thousands having someone design a custom unit for you.
It also needs to load quickly and fit well in the back of the race trailer. These tards here have never been to an NHRA top fuel race.
>Also i'd bet the tools are autisticly organized and laid out so when there's a deadline and he's in a rush he doesn't have to search for anything, just open the right drawer and its right there.
Looking for a tool is blowing money out your ass. You need to grab and go.
HA! You have no clue what you are talking about if you think that chest is comparable to this. Just my tool would break those shit-tier slides.
This nigger knows what he’s talking about
You need to have some discipline to not fall for their tricks. Just do the math in your head and understand it’s not worth it at the moment
As a mechanic you dumb nigger
>HA! You have no clue what you are talking about
Obviously not, but the best way to learn things on the internet is to post something and then wait for someone to come correct you
If you can start a business and avoid some of the expenses the more power to you. Point is you need to start your own business if you want to have a real chance at making real money
And you need how to run it. Everything's good and dandy until you can’t manage the money coming in and out of your business because you don’t even know what a balance sheet is
That’s because these kiddos are watching mechanic tv shows
Not really, if you have a wife, 2 kids and pay mortgage you need a pretty strict budget to survive
No, user is right. Snap-off is a scam. You know nothing. Tool trucks mark up tools 150-200%.
If you live alone in a cheap place yeah. If not, it’s near poverty tier
They do make great wrenches but they are extremely overpriced.
You don't need a degree for that, that's some brainlet tier work.
If you think I’m saying cool kid kyle that just graduated from community college as a technician needs to finance 100k worth of snap-on tools your’re wrong and stupid. What I’m saying is Fred the diesel mechanic that’s been in business for 20+ years and has an established business needs quality tools such as snap on and can easily justify spending the markup on them
it's used by mechanics in Poland
what makes it usable by mechanics in usa? A brand name? Lime color?
Most people who run shops dont have degrees you stupid fuck.
Never said you need a 4 year degree, but a few courses on business administration will definitely teach you a few things you can use
The salt flowing from the commies in this thread is glorious
>snap on
>quality
Lol
Who ever said anything about a god damn degree?
Prove to me they’re not
>$60k
lmao IKEA probably sells the same thing in wood-color for $600
And im saying your clearly retarded because snap-on is not the only quality tool brand. They are just the most expensive. Literally. There is no need to buy their shit. But its your money, you can enjoy throwing it at the tool jew if you want. Fucking faggot. Stick to a topic you actually understand.
never saw a reason to be envious of other's ability to buy random crap
It's not a matter of being hedonistic. It's the fact that western civilization is falling apart in front of our eyes and it's making people angry, nervous, and restless.
>larger ideas of God, family, and nation have been destroyed and subverted
>every person is just living for themselves
>some embrace drugs, alcohol, and sex because it's the only enjoyment they can achieve
>those who do work find themselves accomplishing little more than to support themselves, with a house or family as an impossible luxury
Young adults can sense that society is sliding backwards and its takes far longer to achieve adult independence. The only age group who's birthrate is increasing is age 40 to 44. What does that say about the length of time to become stable?
Your baboon mother did fucking nigglet.
>snap-on is not the only quality brand
>that means snap-on is shit-tier
Go with mac tools for all I care as long as it’s a quality tool that meet your requirements. That’s the whole point of this thread you dumb nigger
That's home/consumer tier. That thing would fall apart used everyday with 1-200# of tools in each drawer.
yeah, I'm not saying they aren't of good quality but their business model is kikey as hell from what I've seen. Hook em' with the credit app when they're young and in school and you'll have a customer for life.
Never said snap-on wad shit tier you stupid fucking monkey. You dont even have to get tools from a tool truck for quality. You are the dumbest most retarded gorilla nigger I have ever seen here.
60k a year will afford you a nice sized house anywhere outside of a city and support a family you urban retard
it has gone to worse than shit
this thread is not about politics yet it continues
also fuck niggers and fuck jannies
Never had my craftsman shit bend on me. No thanks. I’ll stick with my Bosch, Matika, and craftsman stuff.
Even TengTools makes decent shit compared to snap on. Enjoy being jew’d
>B-but it has a lifetime warranty
lol, good one
