Thanks for the post mate.
Please note I now own the tools after doing a swap for a set of Laser spanners, an ALDI spirit level and a ASDA bag for life.  BARGAIN.
Thanks
Steve
P.S Read the questions he's been asked on ebay, well worth a read.

Yeh been watching them. Strange as not even a main dealer spanner monkey needs all of them to himself.

part of a scam...who knows?

Could be legit. I know a lot of women with rooms full of clothes they've never worn, this is just the bloke version!
Heard a fair bit of poor press on snap on recently, and more people are realising they cost so much because the credit fee is built into the price to
allow Mr Mechanic to pay £2 a week for 6 years for his socket rail, not because they are actually worth the list price.
That being said I'd still love that much stuff!

Could they be fakes? I gather there's fake Halfords stuff going round. If someone's bothered to fake Halford, SnapOn must be a far more
tempting target!
Or just stolen?
Just all seems a little odd to me.
Be interesting to know if there's any SnapOn reps watching it!
Cheers,
James

I cant really get my head round why any one would amass such a collection, unless they had a trade connection or there was something dodgy!
Possible it's all legit & he's just weird, it takes all sorts!

Awesome, truly awesome. A collection we can all aspire to.
I don't know why everyone is saying its dodgy though, my dad was a nap-On dealer for the first 20 years of my life and I saw collections like
this (and much bigger ones) all the time as a kid.
There was for instance a guy my dad used to sell to, in his 50's, worked as head of maintenance in a massive food factory, he spent hundreds of
pounds a week on Snap-On tools just because he loved them, he'd preuse the new catalogiues for any new tool and buy it regardless of whether it
was needed or not. Due to the sterile nature of his work they were like surgical instruments, most had never even been used and his collection dwarfed
that.

I reckon my toolbox kit has cost me some where in the order of 20 - 24k and those of you that have seen it will KNOW what I'm talking about. A
good motor-mech will know exactly where each tool is that he needs to use.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

The other thing is that well looked after tools don't really age so many collections are a lifetimes worth of buying.
I remember when I started at my first race team on industrial placement I had about 10 spanners and a screwdriver, only 7 years later I have 2 Roll
Cabs and a Top chest rammed with hand tools as well as all my garage equipment. So in another 30 years who knows how big it will be.

Bloke who owns Chinese restaurant near me has a huge Snap on collection that he has never used.
Some people collect stamps others collect tools I suppose???
Something about this, so very wrong.....I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn`t like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can honestly say I own about £400 worth of spanners and they do everything I will ever need.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

You'd have to do a lot of work to get the 33K back....madness.
Sadly, the seller can't even spell "Engineers" (ENGINEARS) ...maybe he's going to spend the money on some night classes?
