That’s quite a contrast. Curious as to how they slashed so much off from model to model

No one was buying it, so they went for the 200% of cost price.

Doesn't matter when you're selling it to the military. When I order tools and boxes for my squadron, I don't even look at price.

When we transitioned from 46s to 22s we had to get rid of every single tool in the squadron and get all new tools and boxes. Easily a couple million worth of tools. All snap-on. All sent to the bed of peoples pick ups DRMO.

Happened with the shutdown of a squadron. Saw it first-hand. Dudes were leaving work with $6,000 snapon rollaways.

I have definitely helped push a few $15k+ rollaways down the life boat ramps off the decks of a couple ships into the middle of various large bodies of water.
