No kidding, I almost have a revolving account with the MAC truck. Some of the tools for my job are specialized tools that they don't sell at sears, lowes or harbor freight. Although I do have those also. I am not brand loyal
Back when Craftsman was the only readily available and reasonably priced lifetime warrantied tool... I was very brand loyal.
Now I can get that price and warranty from Lowe's or Home Depot's brands. Craftsman is now a Lowe's brand, come to think on it.
Snap-On in some of the places I lived was very hard to track down and get to make a small sale to an individual. Around here, it's just a matter of finding a tool they have I can't get from another vendor.
When you need that framadamagic bi-spanner, and curse that you have no fbs, curse loud enough and you will summon... the Truck. Just one simple payment plan... Muhahahahahahaha.
But, yeah, the inner tool-dragon wants, so badly, if inner tool-dragon wins lottery or Publishers' Clearinghouse, to horde... and the +3 Tools of SnapOn and the +2 Tools of Matco are much desired. The +5 tools of NASA are nigh on unobtainable but sought after rare prizes, unless you work for the Gnomes of NASA and can sneak them out using your briefcase of holding...
