And offer you the finance but they add the vat which they don't tell you is added on as well as a fee to the finance, and the tools tend to be twice as much in general as like teng and all the other good brands , no idea why people go near them personally. But each to there own. Makita are a good make for hand and power tools, also stocked lol.
They make it perfectly clear they add finance costs and VAT just like every other company because if they don't, they are breaking the law.
Personally i love Snap On kit. Ive got ratchets that are older than me that were used all day every day for 19 years and still work spot on. For hobby use like most of us on here you don't need something like that and the likes of Halfords pro stuff is easily good enough but Snap On must be doing something right considering nearly all mechanics you see use their stuff.
Not saying the likes of Teng and Britool are poor because they are far from it but id buy snap on over them all day long where funds permit. They just seem better made!
