Worst Catalog ever- SNAP ON

[LOWAIRD1964]

Maybe I need to take the class again or maybe its just Monday afternoon and I want to go home, either way I cant remember how or the stupid catalog is jst being stupid and you can't just search a part by a PArt number. I know the part number, its in front of me but im trying to see what its for. Old catalog you could find this stuff out quite easily. Please help thanks

I set the catalog to the start w/o a vehicle, then go to the field to the right of where you would enter a vin #. Put your # there and it will search for you. There are also other ways to search by # but that's an easy way.

Thanks I thought that is how I did it before but for some reason my local on the server catalog wasn't finding anything, maybe it was just thinking and I wasn't giving it enough time. who knows?? Today I tried on global catalog and it works fine. Thanks for the replys!

USB UPDATE. The directions state to "Plug in (the USB) and forget!"

However you must remove the USB when the update is done. When our server did a self restart, it wouldn't start back up with the USB still in..

My local catalog is still running at half the speed of the online one. All the updates have been done. What is the point?

I gave up on my local. I just use the one in global, it is so much faster. Snap on guy was just here 3 weeks ago. He agrees the catalog on Global is much faster? I was complaining about the same thing about how slow it was and he just said use the one on global and if internet is down or something switch back and use the local. Its pretty sad when there own employees know the catalog sucks

Has anyone else in the past gave up on their local & just went with the online catalog?
Pros or Cons? I'm assuming there is a price reduction for the department!
