Frickin' Apprentice! Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 and whats with this "cheap tools for the apprentice" crap? All the apprentices I know have their boxes jam packed with snap-on (i'm sure courtesy of Mommy/Daddy) I need a new mommy and daddy....no "who's your daddy jokes" please. Apprentice Quote
Puddle Jumper Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 Snap on courtesy of Mom and Dad.....certainly not in my toolbox. Lots of mastercraft and craftsman though courtesy of working my arse off! Quote
Puddle Jumper Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 This thread got me a thinking....what should a new apprentice have in his or her toolbox when showing up for that first job? Any suggestions or ideas? Quote
hungstart Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 depends on what yer workin on, tools would do in most cases Quote

rookie314 Posted August 28, 2005 Report Posted August 28, 2005 I really don't care much about who uses what tools, and I am not a big snap-on fan however snap-on makes the best tourqe wrench and you do pay for it. Quote
picapart Posted August 28, 2005 Report Posted August 28, 2005 Ithink snap-on tools are a good source of quality assurance as you may not care if you have a 1$ socket missing as compared to a 25 $ socket . I have found more cheap crap in aircraft than snap-on. I personally take alot of pride in my tools as i'm into my career and there is a sense of of pride in knowing you have the best . Quote
torquey Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 A $15 torque wrench? I wouldn't trust it as far as i could throw it!! I wonder if it came with a current calibration record. I just bought an SK model that is awesome and I think is better than Snapon's. Came with a calibration record and everything And it was 1/2 the price with the same warranty!! :punk: Just my two cents plus GST! Quote
