you could try the snap on travelling salesman. he tends to haunt garage premises and the like. if you see a big van with snap on written on the side in big red letters then odds on thats your man. be prepared to pay over inflated prices for your purchases.

I believe that SnapOn are an American franchise. Each area of the country is allocated to a franchisee who has bought into the company and who has sole operating rights in that area. Each franchisee is provided by SnapOn with all they need to build a business in their area such as a sign-written vehicle, company paperwork, stock etc. SnapOn will therefore only distribute through their franchisees. That means you will have to track down your local franchisee (Yellow Pages etc) and they will come to you. You therefore can't buy new SnapOn products in stores.
I do stand to be corrected on this but I believe that is how SnapOn operate as I looked at a franchise once.

Pop in to your nearest main dealer (doesn't matter what make of car) and chances are one of the mechanics will have the mobile number of the local Snap-On franchisee.
Be warned though, they're incredibly expensive. (But they are sooooo nice!)

Thanks guys. I know they are expensive but well worth the cost. As it happens i only want some T key hex keys from them so the cost shouldn't be too much.

I see the Snap On van all the time, didn't know i could just stop one though thats handy.

Cheers for the help guys
