55mm wrench, M5OD, a little pricey at $1,200 ??

If you work in an explosive atmosphere. That’s a good price. Much cheaper than a casket.

I still have the Snap-on 3/8 set I bought back in the mid 70s. don't use them much anymore, being fractional.

If you are missing pieces you can buy replacements, you don't have to get a whole new set you know.

I would have guessed snap-on before apple. I could see snap-on selling that for that price and swearing I need it. We have a guy at work that is obsessed with snap-on junk and probably gives half his paycheck to them. He recently was showing off his $200 bit set. As in $200 for a 50pc screwdriver bit set that came with a free $80 screwdriver. He says they have lifetime guarantee. I says, "that's fine until you lose one". I've rather buy 5 of the $10 drill bit sets and just open a new one every time I broke a bit and then I would still have an extra $150. Snap-on is a joke IMO and should be out of business by now. Guy at work has a snap-on box that is half full of snap-on tools and says he has well over 20 grand in it and I just can't fathom spending that kind of money. It's even funnier because he thinks he can retire on those tools when he sells them. PSHHHH.

The apple comment was at their 1000 dollar tv/ monitor stand. yep, for $1000 you can buy a monitor stand for your new 4000 dollar monitor. the monitor does *not* come with the stand. the stand is a chunk of aluminum. at most, 15 bucks worth of materials and a few minutes for some 8 year old kid in China to make for about 3 cents an hour.

I'm well aware of that, but the last time I tried to pull over a Snap-On truck I almost got shot.

I still have all the pieces of that set, but the 5/16 and 1/2 are worn out. I probably won't need them until I dig the 78 Bronco out of the garage and try to reassemble it.
oh wait, the diff cover bolts on 7.5 and 8.8 are 1/2", I get to play with my old tool again.
