ok folks! thank you! here's where i stand (or sit as the computer is
being used...LOL!).
i went to the web site, got their toll free number , called, and was given
two matco dealers one rather south and similarly north of me. i called
the dealer to the south before 10am yesterday and as of last night no
return call. i find this hilarious as the operator said that this dealer
was "new" and i figured he'd be "hungry" for business and respond in a
timely fashion. my other tool dealers return my calls same day. soooo,
this morning i call the dealer to my north.
what an effort. my snap on dealer comes right here on fridays if i
request him to and if it's a service need in a hurry he tells me where
he'll be during any day and i will drive to meet him if it's something i
seriously need. while these stupid tools are rather expensive initially
some items are best purchased from the tool dealers. i bought quite a few
while i was still working in garages and delerships. i saw these guys
evry week. now i see them weak-ly! lol!
if i remember things right snap-on tools are expensive due to the built in
acomodation for 3 replacements over life being factored into the purchase
price. i was told that at one point of my complaining about pricing
during a purchase. i get my money's worth out of most of my tools!
now to go "matco" hunting......LOL!(be vewwy-vewwy quiet....were hunting
matco's)
i'm gonna get this ratchet repaired!
thank you for the replies!
