Nah, It's like a truck. You don't need them as long as you know someone who has them.

What happened to "the one who dies with the most tools wins" or did I just buy into Snap-On's marketing?

i have enough tools, but the bike is so much easier to work on when it's lifted, at least i think so. plus it gives me a chance to get away from the house without having to cut the grass,lol..

Snap- on Addiction Chuck?

Better a Snap-on than a Strap- on...Lol

If I didn't make a living with them it would be a totally different story, I've wore out more of their tools than I have broken, most people hardly ever use a 15/16 socket, I wear one out about every 2 years. Hate to think about how many 1/2" and 3/4" impact wrenches I've been through
