I always associated Martin with body tools and pulleys. Through the years we had Martin wagon jobbers to stop by off and on, but they never seemed to compete with Snap On, etc. For one reason, they didn't offer credit and they just didn't have the brand identification. I think the time is right for them to become a player in the independent mechanic market. Snap On and their competitors have become so outlandishly priced and people are getting completely fed up with Chinese junk. I think that more tools such as Martin and Wright will be seen in the hands of independent mechanics and small shops.
