In my case, I was a young grease monkey in a service station pulling down about $2.65 an hour. But that's all it took for the Snap-On man to extend credit. Bought a 3/8" socket set in a red mechanics box for $80 on time payments that were taken out of my paycheck for Lord knows how long. Still have it - good investment!
Those red Snap-on tool boxes were as sturdy as their tools.
