I worked for Snap-On for many years. I know 300 dealers and had an inside track on their problems. I'm glad Snappy is good for you. I want to help the mechanic or shop that may not know what is happening or could happen.
With the economy so bad, the Snap-On man cannot pay his tool bill. (Well, 40% of them in the Northeast.) If Snappy can't pay his bill, he is put on HOLD and cannot buy tools until he is off hold.
By the way, Snap-On Tools DOES NOT sell tools to mechanics. Snap-On sells tools to DEALERS who sell them to mechanics.
15 to 20% of the dealers will CHECK IN within a year. Usually for 2 months before they sell their franchise back to the branch, they will collect as much as they can on their RA. They know, you see, when it comes time to check in, they sell the RA (your personal account with the dealer) to the branch at a 25% discount.
So even though you THINK your money is going to the credit department, it may not be! CHECK YOUR RECEIPT.
AFTER SNAPPY LEAVES, YOU'RE SCREWED! I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN "WAY" TOO OFTEN!
