David Horgan 564 Posted August 19, 2019 MAC , my son swears by them , Built better than Snap On in his opinion . But it did cost the same as a Large car though Now we have three of the things . I remember writing the cheques out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember writing the cheques out Thank you david i remember dave on here saying snap on wasn't as good quality as they used to be in fact a few of my mechanics friends boxes rusted away runners stopped working etc another guy i know bought a second hand mac and never had any bother with it i looked at halfords ones too and ones from uk garage equipment.com matco i think they were but feel its time to get something decent for my own bits and bobs the facom one has been ok had it 16 years now but a few of the drawer locks etc dont work now dad bought me it in 2003 actually missed a cheap snap on subaru box guy I buy cars for sometimes upgraded his and sold it for £800 before i heard just looked at the teng tool kits they have increased in value over the years remember visiting a show years ago and seeing one for under £1000 now there about £3500-£5500 im getting old lol hope you and your family are well ..
