    none to date...Yet, Well sold the 07 and purchased a 2014. I don't know what you could do to this.
    Here ya go, this is a picture of my tool box when I changed jobs, the other picture shows what happened when the wrecker driver dropped my tool box. Not good.

    However I did receive a check for 22k, that's the difference between snap on and some of the other brands. They do hold their value.

    Much like Toyota's
