    Suggest you just ship your existing tools/ diagnostic equipments from your country of origin to the Philippines. I am a former Technical Sales Supervisor from the previous Snap On distributor here and as far as I know, their present distributors does not promote and stock professional tools, special service tools and diagnostic equipments which you might need. By the way, what is the brand of tools, diagnostic equipments that you presently use?

    i was going to check which is cost effective. i intend to keep some here and some in the philippines. for over thirty years of tools accumulated/lost, i have snapons, craftsman, belzer. otc, truecraft(japanese company-stopped making tools), facom, armstrong, napa, sk, matco and other brands. i mixed and matched brands and if i can't find the tool i already had and needed, i bought new ones to save time. as far as equipment snapon and coats/ammco.

    yes, we are talking about milspecs, faa specs or simply precision reliable and professional tools, not the ones used by little pedro down the street.

    Among all the detecting activities, gold metal detecting is the most interesting one. We can not only relax both our mind and body , but also find a big fortune if we are lucky enough. Next time if you feel bored, you can pick up a gold metal detector and have a try.
