Response to the Snap on Toolman

Against my better judgement. I'll post a reply.

Off Road Trail Tools has an outstanding reputation for delivering quality products, awesome customer service and some really unique parts.

Many of those are award winning parts.

After doing some research to find out why Mike was upset. Here's what we found out about the vendor he compared us to.

This is the exact response that I e-mailed to Snap on toolman in a private e-mail. And I tried calling him as well.


"I’m sorry you feel that way.

I would compare apples to apples.

A few points that I’ll make.

(1) That’s like a guy coming on the truck and found a set of used wrench’s or ratchet. He pays $40.00, for something you sell for $300.00. Did you just take advantage of him?

(2) Those are used items.

(3) That’s way less than my cost. Now I understand why, he’s not selling new ones.

(4) No Greens.

(5) No Tans.

(6) No Smalls cans.

(7) He’s all out of cans. ???

(8) Not sure if when he’s going to get anymore. Per the guy on the phone this am, “They are really hard for us to get”.

(9) If I sold used parts, I’m sure I could sell them for less as well.

How do I know? Because I just got off the phone with him.

Order canceled per your request.

We’ll be here for you should things change."

End of quote;

Are we the cheapest? No.

Somebody always got something cheaper somewhere. But we normally have them in stock.

Are we the most expensive? No.

You being a Snap On tool guy & business man, let me ask you this?

Is Snap On Tools and it's franchisees taking advantage of it's customers as well?

Does anybody know of a good source for the tan 10 liter Scepter containers? I have found one source but they are rather expensive...

@ReconH3- you mind posting up a link to the BQ page that has the MWCs?? I have been on their site and all I find are canteens and Nalgenes. Thank you in advance.

The pricing in my first post was $18.99 per tan can. I just checked LCI and the new price is $24.99 each.

Does anyone know an in-stock source for the 10 liter/2.5 gallon Spectre water cans or another brand of equivalent form factor? Thanks.

If you are in SoCal, M&I Surplus in Pomona has these for 19.97 right now. Probably 30 in stock

It's been over a year since I last bought from them. If they don't have it on their page give them a call. They used to always stock them.
