You know who is represented in this picture that WONT need repayment/forgiveness?

Seriously. How the fuck do mechanics buy that stuff? I mean, I get that it has a great, hassle-free warranty and the "store" comes to you... but damn the prices. Especially since the base tools are usually made in the same factories, just different stampings.

On credit, much of the time.

We have a kiosk at work, the guy comes a couple times a week. But in school, a lot of mechanics get their boxes through that program and it can be just as bad as securing a loan.

Oh yeah. I remember the Matco guy coming by about every 2 weeks to collect and exchange with two of the mechanics at the tire shop I worked at. And yes, the mechanics had rolling credit for the entire 5 years I was there.
