ASE Tools where to buy?

[GGPIS3]

matco is junk and over rated use snap on or better yet go to northern tools for half the price

i beg to differ. matco is not junk by any means. personally, 98% of all my tools are from matco. our local rep, john, is a honest guy and a good guy. any time i have an issue, he is always there to help out, fix the tool, or replace it if necessary... he has come through on his off days to make sure we have the tools we need. its not always about the manufacturer but also the sales and service that comes along with it. i also like snap on, but as everyone else has stated, they are costly, but worth the money. i, for one, will stick with matco for most of my tools due to price and convenience. i do, however, have some snap on and blue pointe stuff as well though. can't go wrong with most tools nowadays since almost everyone has lifetime warranties.

Agreed. I have a mix of Snap-on, Matco, and Blue point for hand held tools. 99.9% of my pneumatic tools are Ingersol-Rand. Most of my B.P. stuff are pry bars/screwdrivers and my Toolbox/rollcart *Snap-on at a lower price*. Matco is mainly my wrenches, and you bet your ass all my sockets and corresponding equipment is Snap-on.

Best thing about all of them is if one breaks, my rep only asks how I broke it so he can notify the manufacturer to make it stronger. Lol.
