Here is my question of the day. I understand that Snap On and Mac and Matco all have great tools, But why is it that all the techs I hire straight out of school feel it is so important to have the most expensive stuff just starting out???? There are lots of tool companies out there that make good stuff.
I have one young guy that I hired a few weeks ago and every week he hands over 2/3 of his check to the snap on guy to pay for a tool chest and a bunch of hand tools . Maybe I’m lost or something !!! Does having a $8000.00 tool chest make you a better tech? Does it hold your tools better than my Harbor Freight Chest? Does the $4000.00 in hand tools he owes on get the job done better then my Craftsman stuff? Once again I understand Snap on makes some nice stuff . But to me I don’t think the niceness justifies the price. I look at every new tech I hire as one of my sons and I try to help them any way I can, But when I say something about them needing to be budget conscious they say I don’t understand. I have been in this business for 15 years and I have made great money doing what I love. But I can’t justify spending that kind of money . Can some one please tell me what I am missing?
