![]() ![]() ![]() On their lot, at the same time, was a Lexus SUV and a Toyota SUV (same year). Case in point - My sister and Bro-In-Law ran a repo company in the ATL GA area. However, there's plenty others that are LITERALLY nothing more than a badge. Not enough to make up the price difference. Are SOME Lexus models a little more upscale? Sure, a little. You are also incorrect about the Toyota/Lexus comparison. But to say "Proto = Williams" is just plain STUPID and shows us that you are nothing but a Snap-On fanboi that can't be reasoned with. In those instances, I look at Snap-On and Mac. The only relevancy there is that Mac and Snap-On have automotive specific tools that Proto does not. However, a wrench is a wrench and a socket is a socket. Proto is marketed towards industry, like Wright. MAC is marketed towards automotive, like Snap-On. ![]() ![]() MAC is just Proto with a truck delivery service - and still cheaper than Snap-On (though not by as much). but I'll wing in.īlackhawk is to Proto what Williams is to Snap-On. And SOME of Snap-On tools I do prefer, like ratchets (I do like the design of their chrome handle ratchets over the Proto design), but other tools, I'd rather something else, also Made in US.Ĭlick to expand.This post is so full of fallacy that I don't even know where to begin. But the fact they are very over-priced cannot be disputed. I literally just ordered a couple Snap-On ratchets last week (should arrive today) and have several other Snap-On tools. Granted, the Snappy set comes with a 54" top and bottom tool chests and the Proto doesn't, so add another $3k for a 55" top and bottom Proto chest set.Īnd with the Proto set, you're already starting out with enough extra tools to cover another $7-$10k Snappy add-on set. $30k for a complete professional mechanics set is VERY plausible Meanwhile, the largest kit Proto sells is the 1258 piece Master Technician set at roughly $16k $100k for a complete professional mechanics set is VERY plausible, if maybe slightly high. What appears to be Snap-On's largest set is approximately 867 pieces for roughly $49k, which is far from a COMPLETE set that senior level professional mechanics would have - hence why they are always buying more tools. I have several Snap-On tools, and while nice, they aren't anything special beyond the other US makes (I have a lot of different US makes). I will put any of my Proto tools up against Snap-On any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Well over 90% of Proto is US, about the same as Snap-On.
