I choose tekton when getting into the diesel industry for a few main reasons. 1. Great custom service. 2. Arguably easier warranty than going into a store. 3. Large no skip sets. 4. Adding lots of usa sets. Had very little problems so far.

If you are trading in an old Snap-On box for a new Snap-On box, on the tool truck, you will get a good trade-in.

My entire 10,000 square foot shop on 3 acres, complete with 3 phase power and electric 14 foot doors on both ends cost me less in 2015 than what lots of guys have wrapped up in their Snap On boxes

Things I like about Tekton tools, are an American based company, Thier warrantee policy and fast replacement of tools, quality standards of tools along with reasonable prices.

You should check out Capri they're just as good

This guy said home shop. That's all u need to know. He's a diy guy.

The best techs use the best tools.

Buddy let me tell you something... Every single one of Snap On tools that🎉🎉 are made with Snap On Steel are made in the good ol USA! Now a days that's saying alot. So give them the respect they deserve and quit bashing them.

Preach it brudder! I agree, I have several brands of tools and most of them work very well and cost half the price.

all my tekton sockets are holding up well. 10/10.

Should look at icon 3//4 in breaker it 99 if not on sale but it awesome had a 8 ft pipe on mine

I just today decided to sell off all of my Tekton stuff. Never have liked the ratchets nothing wrong with them, per se. I just don’t like them. And I prefer shallow broach deep sockets.

Commenting on the video for the algorithm

Nice setup! I love finding or making free tools -- but I've never been luck enough to find a portaband :)

At least they have the option, Harbor Freight doesn't. Harbor Freight's largest model is Snap On's space saver model. Why is this even a thing anymore. 30 inch drawers are nothing new, I've had them for 25 years (and love them) on my 9000 series Matco box...That was before the 6S series came out. Snap on has actually been late to the game in offering 30 inch drawers.

I will never buy another McGraw product. I've bought two compressors from them, both failed.

Jajaja there is a fellow in my shop who added the Icon side cabinet to his snap on tool box. A little bit off and needed some one off brackets but it fools the muggles

I have not yet moved up to any ICON tools yet. I would like to but for what I do I think the cheaper Harbor Freight tools are good enough for me. Thanks for sharing this video.

Get the quine ratchet it has 90 tooth and it has the on off on the same side as tool truck brands.

Love those ratchets in all sizes and the breaker bar and the hammer !!!

I have also warranteed a sun bleached cracked orange dead blow hammer. No questions asked.

Nothing electric recommended. Smart man.

Can't beat the 5-drawer cart, the XL flex ratcheting wrenches, impact sockets, and all the snap-on/knipex-clone pliers. If they break, just go swap em out.

I absolutely love my Icon box. Good showcase of yours my man

Thats a classic series, just like its named, its just a classic, move up to the newer snapon boxes! 30in deep! Thats for the epics! I had a master series XL which is 29 deep, largest box snapon makes besides the epic, and its a ⅓ of the price of an epic. My snapon toolbox lists for 13.5k on the website😂😂😂😂😂 i paid just umder 5k bran stinkin new! With some extras thrown in and it came with a nice top already on it🤙🫶 have a nice box ready for order tho😅😊

I think those icon boxes are every good as a snap on box. I've literally examined them side by side. There are subtle differences, but not as far as quality is concerned.

I kept rewinding back to that anger findle angle finder part 😂

Tekton or snap on ?

Can I have your old one? ☺️

What did you do about your air intake? Im worried when i take out the inner plastic it will expose the air intake to water and more dirt and debrie

Nice video? What are you trying to say? You bought snap on and the napa china brand was a little less. ......ok....... wtf

These aren't even close to the same quality

So you made a video because you paid a dollar more for a namebrand versus some Napa piece of shit pliers

Thats a classic. The only snap on box with 30 inch drawers are the epiqs. The only box i would ever purchase from snap on, even a masters aint worth it. But yea pedel the hobo freight propaganda

That means more space in the bay of your shop 🤦

snap on is a fad, dummys with more money/ credit than sense. ill take a box thats slightly less cool lookin and not be 30,000$ in debt

its always harbor freight lads shitting on snap on never the other way around because we mind our business i will always hear someone complain about how my tools are expensive yet they waste their money on fast food or dumb car mods like cmon bro pick a battle

Best tech I've ever met had the nicest harbor freight box he could get. All the other techs had these wildly expensive boxes and couldn't do half the stuff he could or even close to as fast..

It's literally a box to put your tools in. The box shown is $10,000. For a fucking box to put your tools in. $10,000 for a 73x24 tool box. Or I could go to Harbor Freight and buy 2x 72x22 tool boxes for $1700 each. The SO box is 668lbs vs HF box at 490lbs. So the SO might be more durable if you like to ram into your box with vehicles, but I think the HF will probably do fine.

Harbor freight is 22 inch lol

That's a classic series box. The epic is the 30-inch deep box to my knowledge.. my friend has the epic Snap-on box. I think the draws are all too long, each to their own I guess

Tour tour tour!!!

Tour!

Is the tip guard required to run the machine?

Also, yes! Please do a toolbox tour of the Icon 73 inch box.

Excellent video! Ive been eyeing the 73 inch ICON box and hutch. Together, they are $4K before discounts - BUT if you can stack a 15% with the 10% discount for the credit card, it should be somewhere around $3200 ish? So plus tax you'ld be out the door at around $3500 - that sounds really good. Im a little cramped at home in my garage or else I would really be looking harder at it.

A lot will say “But you didn’t buy American!” Well ya, and you saved enough for four or five different setups with endless combos!” And the quality really is impressive regardless of it being a Chinese export. I changed over a few years ago starting with a simple five drawer US General cart that Im now currently modifying into a fifteen draw roller and with an additional side cabinet that’ll total 22 drawers! The first cart was dumb luck finding it stacked next to a dumpster behind Harbor Freight being tossed due to the bottom pan being dented during shipping. From there I bought one new almost half off on a sale and after watching a vid I modified it to a ten draw stack. Now I’m incorporating another one into it soon, it’s a marketplace find to make the fifteen drawer total then I’ll re-ad the side box to make it 22!) So many great ideas on mods on the tube that you really can’t go wrong and get to build the box just right for you. Kinda like playing with legos and you really can’t tell the box didn’t come like this. Anyway I think you did the right thing upgrading and you saved a ton too because the snap on resale may not be the huge bucks you spent originally, but you’ll definitely have a nice chunk of change left over reselling to roll into future tools and/or project stock so it’s a win win. Good luck brother, thanks for taking us along😉 👍🏼👍🏼from this guy & I just subbed up! Almost forgot, this modified chest cost me $305.00 total!

hell yea

Excellent video! Couple of things I would suggest to round out this kit would be: a set of punches/chisels, some torx sockets (I know they are kind of a 'specialty' tool, but they are found on a lot of cars now a days), good penetrating fluid, and a potent work light (I know you showed a pen light). Otherwise - phenomenal video!

I have been a tech for over 30 years I have Snapon tools I will say they probably make the best ratchets and chrome swivel sockets but I have been using Astro pneumatic air tools and cat are my favorite air tools capri koken sunex and many more you can’t go wrong
