Good point, Jason.
I like Snap N Rack's products, but when I tried to order equipment (no
distributors carry their stuff in Colorado) they never returned my
calls or emails. I'd certainly be wary of their future support, if they
won't even return calls for sales.
Frankly I'm going to start calling out ALL manufacturers that don't back
their product, or otherwise don't treat us RE Wrenches with respect from
here on out.
Manufacturers' reps on this list be forewarned.
I'm getting too old, and worked to hard in this industry to pull punches
now, and I don't think I'm doing my fellow wrenches any service covering
up for the manufacturers' mistakes any more either.
