In case you just fell of the turnip truck, have you ever tried selling a name brand box for even half the retail price? Look at @Fast306stang example. He's finding it quite difficult to get off his snapon box.

I will agree that most of the truck hand tools are far superior in quality but what you're really paying big bucks for is their service. With the younger generation now buying trucks the service is lacking in my area. Well all except for the MAC guy.

Well of course they also lose value like most things, but 10-20years later the quality toolboxes are still usable and you can still get 1/4 to 1/3 of original price. Yes you lose more money overall with a quality box, but it won‘t frustrate you by falling apart when it’s opened and shut 100x a day.
If you’re a tech/mechanic then quality tools are your most important investment. Having to waste time replacing junk delays the job and reduces potential profit

As a tech I understand what's important and waiting on a truck that never arrives to replace my QuAlItY tool is just as bad a a junk one.

Like stated before. Hand tool and diag equipment is a must to buy off a truck even if they never show to service or warranty you. But I'll be damned if Ever buy a name brand box again. I have a couple that sit at home and work out of a cheap box at work.

You do you and Ill continue to diag and repair every vehicle that hits our business 10 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Anyone ever really sharpen a Romanian bayo? Thinking I might try to put and edge on a couple and use as utility knives for truck/van. I just can't imagine the steel would be very good quality, maybe I'm wrong?

I have cleaned up a couple of chipped bayonets. The metal is really hard and brittle. These never had any type of edge to begin with. I also noticed on these that the edge is only on one side and starting way up. I think this was for strength and to lighten the bayonet somewhat.

Yeah, I've seen a few that some rube put on a grinder (this is not the way) - and ruined them. I'll give them a good look when they get here, see what I can do.

I use Bulgarian Gen 4 bayos as farm knife and a truck knife. They work great. I sharpened them and they hold edge good.

I use one around here, mostly to open feed bags, they work well if you sharpen them up
