I don’t think he is going to find MAC or SNAP ON anything for what he is looking to spend. (300 or less) Your very right though about MAC and Snap On quality. I know guys that had the same snap on boxes for 30 plus years in service centers. If it were me personally I would wait a little while save up a grand and watch craigslist for a used MAC or snap on box.
